Originally a Tudor palace, Somerset House was reimagined by Sir William Chambers in 1776 as part of London’s urban enhancements. Situated along the Thames, this neoclassical building now serves as a vibrant cultural and creative center. Visitors can explore its art galleries, attend music events or film screenings, and enjoy drinks at the riverside bar. During the winter, the courtyard transforms into a popular ice rink, adding to the year-round appeal of this historic and dynamic space.
