| The London home of the Duke of Wellington sits opposite the entrance to Hyde Park. Commonly known as No.1 London, Apsley House was built between 1781-1787 by neo-classical architect Robert Adam for Baron Apsley, later the second Earl Bathurst. Wellington nominated architect Benjamin Wyatt to carry our restorations at Apsley, and create a residence worthy of housing the Duke's growing art collection - and also serve as a London base for his sizeable political ambitions. Wyatt expanded Apsley by two bays, and built the Waterloo Gallery for the Duke's paintings. |
