Restoration of Soane's Drawing Office complete

The Drawing Office is the oldest surviving example of its kind and is now open to the public tours for the first time in its 200-year history.

Once the centre of Sir John Soane's architectural practice, the Office will now host two Artists-in-Residence each year, starting with audio-visual artist Sam Belinfante.

Welcome to Sir John Soane's Museum

Discover the extraordinary house and museum of Sir John Soane, one of the greatest English architects, who built and lived in it two centuries ago. The museum has been kept as it was at the time of his death in 1837, and displays his vast collection of antiquities, furniture, sculptures, architectural models and paintings.

We're open Wednesday to Sunday, 10 to 5. Entry is free and you can visit by walking in on the day. Joining a highlights tour, or visiting as a group of eight or more, requires advanced booking.

Join us after dark for this Soane Late, in collaboration with Portobello Road Gin, as we delve deeper into the stories and design of this unique Museum and celebrate London’s legendary relationship with Gin, from Hogarthian excess to high society cocktails, with our special Gin Late. 

Enjoy a gin cocktail and curator talks in our Library-Dining Room as well as the chance to see the Museum's Hogarth 'Gin Lane' engraving, which will be on show for the evening.

Leading designers in conversation at the Soane

Join us for a new season of By Design: a fascinating speaker series where a leading designer explores their craft and career through the lens of a single object.

Alongside the talk, enjoy a drinks reception in our drawing rooms and a chance to explore the Museum at night. The new season kicks off with architect Farshid Moussavi on 23 May.
