The Spencer House

Sunday, February 23, 2020:

Today we took a guided tour of Spencer House, in Green Park near Buckingham Palace, which was built by the 1st Earl of Spencer in the mid 1700s.  Charles Spencer, the younger brother of the late Princess Diana, is the 9th Earl of Spencer.  Charles currently owns and resides at Althorp House, a country estate north of London where he and Diana lived as children.  Spencer House with its lovely neo-classical interiors has been beautifully restored.

We then took a nice long walk past St. James Park, Parliament, Westminster Abbey and the Thames Embankment where we saw the famous London Eye.
