What an amazing experience. I have been to London many times and have done the usual tourist attractions. A friend told me about this house and I am so glad I went. Unlike a previous review, the few people in the house were quiet and respected others. The more you look, the more you see and appreciate . The attention... More

The concept of Dennis Severs' House is an intriguing one, & I've longed to pay it a visit for many years. Finally, this month when I was in London I got the chance to do so. If you don't know about it, in short, it's not a museum, although it is full of interesting historical bits & pieces. The concept... More

Atmospheric house with quirky touches that you won't find in most period house visits. Staff were a little stand offish but otherwise had a very pleasant first visit. Certainly would go back again with visitors from overseas.

I've been here twice now (many years apart) and have to report that it still ticks all the boxes for me. The unobtrusive and scarcely signed entrance only adds to the sense of secrecy as you enter this wonderful house. You really do feel like a guest of Mr Severs himself and the place is completely uncommercialised. The rooms on... More

Let us start with the 'surprises'. (1) You are not given a guide or written information about the contents or the history of the house; (2) you must go around in total silence. This eighteenth century Huguenot weaver's house is designed to be an experience of the period, with sound effects. It is very difficult to describe unless you are... More

Must see place whether you live in London or just visiting; especially if you like all things from the past- including costume dramas =) although when inside, we couldn't really imagine we were transported to another century, though interestingly, it was when I stepped into the modern world outside again that the overwhelming change kind of hit me! in the...

2 minute introduction. Little information on what you are seeing. The house is interesting but its not worth the £14 entry fee. The manager was very patronising in his what you can and can't do speech before he lets you in the door. The notes in the rooms are also quite condescending. I wouldn't recommend the experience to others.

I had high hopes for my visit to Dennis Sever's House in late January, but alas my experience fell short. Greeted at the door I gave over my £7 entry fee. We were told we could not talk inside and directed to different rooms to avoid everyone crowding into the same room. That was a good idea. Alas, no introductory... More

I enjoyed one of their 'Silent Evenings' which is surely the best way to enter into and enjoy the 'Spirit' of the place...This is not a museum, although I felt as though I understood more of the history of this wonderful house..It is almost Theatre where the actors have just left the stage..real candle light flickering upwards to a chandelier,...
