Spencer House, Georgian mansion in St James's Place, London, England

Spencer House features eight staterooms decorated with carved architectural elements, silk wall coverings, and gilded moldings overlooking Green Park.

The First Earl Spencer commissioned architect John Vardy to build this grand residence in 1756, with James Stuart later introducing Greek design elements.

The staterooms of Spencer House became central to London's social gatherings, where aristocrats and politicians gathered throughout the 18th century.

Visitors can explore the restored interiors through guided tours every Sunday, learning about the architectural features and Spencer family history.

During World War II, the interior furnishings were removed for protection, including custom-made furniture pieces and ornate marble fireplaces.
