Sambourne House

Located in Kensington's Phillimore Gardens neighborhood is Sambourne House, the incredibly well-preserved Victorian Era home of Edward Linley Sambourne, an illustrator best known for his contributions to Punch, a British weekly magazine of satire and humor.  Sambourne occupied the residence from 1875 until his death in 1910; it remained in the family mostly unoccupied and unchanged until it was opened to the public in the 1980s.  Lord Snowden, husband of Princess Margaret, was Sambourne's great-grandson.

  1. Oh it's in Kensington a posh neighborhood and who is the beautiful woman in the pictures? Obviously a lot of wealth to have lived in such a place.
