Principal bedroom in Linley Sambourne House

Number 18 Stafford Terrace, Kensington was first occupied in May 1871. Between 1875 and 1910 it was the home to the Punch cartoonist Edward Linley Sambourne, his wife Marion, their two children and their live-in servants. Edward Linley Sambourne (1844 – 1910) was the great grandfather of Lord Snowdon. It became a typical middle class home of the late Victorian period and stayed in the same family. It is a remarkable survival and is probably the most untouched Victorian house you are ever likely to visit. This is the principal bedroom which remained unaltered until the early 1960s when it was redecorated. It is now owned by the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and is open to the public.
