Great museum, but it's very weird they just close rooms when they don't have enough volunteers (but they got two on entrance just to greet you 🤦🏻‍♀️).

Good collection of paintings

Historical place worth visiting when you’re in the heath! They have a great painting collection.

Go earlier in the day before the rooms start to close up

Bring a picnic and relax in the sunshine after touring the house. It’s free to enter and the acclaimed art work and grand architecture make it worth the visit.

Come here now on a good weather day to have a picnic and play ball games and tan! It's like a hidden place getaway for central Londoners.

Absolutely love Kenwood House! The building inside is beautifully restored and kept, full of art including an original Rembrandt. The grounds are wonderful to walk through, especially in the summer.

Kenwood House hosts the most beautiful live out door opera for free every year in the summer. Every age group brings picnics and sits amidst the beauty of the Heath and woods, late into the evening
