The atmospheric former home of architect Sir John Soane, kept as it was in 1837. Dim, candle-like lighting and intimate, densely packed rooms. Free entry but timed tickets manage numbers, keeping it calm. Note the historic house has some steps and tight spaces; check accessibility routes in advance. A uniquely soothing, low-light experience.
