#summervacay Feeling overwhelmed by work lately? Sometimes, the perfect antidote is a beautiful place to recharge, and Ham House and Garden delivers just that! This estate instantly transports you back to the 17th century. The staff here, often charming British aunties and uncles with silver hair, are incredibly friendly and genuinely enthusiastic about sharing the rich history of the place. It's truly a delight to learn from them! One of the most fascinating figures associated with Ham House is Elizabeth Murray, the Duchess of Lauderdale. She was practically a 17th-century interior design "fiend," pouring vast sums into creating one of England's most luxurious Stuart-style mansions. It's said she wanted everyone to know she had enough wealth to fill the Thames! Even more remarkably, she used her political shrewdness to survive the fall of the monarchy unscathed, ensuring the house avoided demolition. This makes Ham House one of the most magnificent 17th-century survivors in all of Europe. Exquisite Interiors and Furnishings ✨ I was particularly captivated by the antique furniture and soft furnishings inside the old house. The guides spoke with immense pride, detailing the interiors and decorations, laughing as they said, "Our building isn't just a beautiful shell; it's a container of history." Every piece tells a story, beautifully preserving the opulence and artistry of a bygone era. It’s an inspiring place to explore! #HamHouse #London #HistoricHouse #17thCentury #StuartEra #ElizabethMurray #DuchessOfLauderdale #NationalTrust #AntiqueFurniture #InteriorDesign #TravelLondon #EnglishHeritage #ThamesRiverside #HistoryLover
