Awesome post, DG.

As a professional cartoonist of sorts myself, (children's book illustrator) I am amazed. One would be hard pressed in this day and age to find an artist living in such luxury!

It's posts like this that make me really want to visit London some day. Thanks for the great first hand reportage.

A very interesting post, thanks. For another Tube related story that will bring tears to your eyes, check out geofftech's USA iBlog. You will never believe the power of the Internet til you read this.

So that is where Viscount Linley gets his title from.

I remember seeing this house on the Jezza Paxman programme about Victorian art. You know, the one that spawned the book with Jezza's name on the front that he later admitted he wrote very little of.

I bet the cook didn't regale the visitors with stories of Mr. Sambourne's extra-marital goings on. If I remember correctly, Sambourne was a dirty old man who kept two households running at the same time, neither of which were aware of the other until Mrs. S. caught Mr. S. posting a letter locally when he was supposed to be in Brighton.

Great post DG, thanks. Another one of yours that makes me want to go straight up to London and see what you've just written about; you keep visiting exactly the kind of small / eccentric / specialist museums and places I love. Thanks.

I love your Blog. I discovered it purely by accident back in May whilst Googling at work. I've read it daily since and am working my way through the archives (I'm up to feb04)

Anyway as to the point of this post. I've to entertain the kids on Friday so thought I'd go to your a-z of museums page for an idea for a museum we haven't visited. I tried the link from this post and the one in May but both link to a completely blank page. is it just my work computer "censoring" pages (it does that occasionally) or do you need to repost?

It's Blogger's search facility that's broken, or at least suddenly functioning differently, which means that the link to my complete A-L no longer works.

Sorry, but for now you'll need to check back through my monthly archives (two museums per month).
