Purchased by famous architect Sir John Soane in 1800, Pitzhanger Manor was initially intended as a country retreat for his family and a statement of his architectural prowess. Soane extensively remodelled the manor between 1800 and 1804, transforming it into a showcase of his innovative design principles.
The Manor reflects Soane’s love for classical architecture, featuring elements such as arches and a striking use of light and shadow. The gallery, added during the renovation, housed Soane’s extensive art collection, including works by Sir Joshua Reynolds and J.M.W. Turner.
