Two Temple Place
Two Temple Place, 2 Temple Place, Temple, London, Greater London, WC2R 3BD
Commissioned and built for William Waldorf Astor in the 1890s, Two Temple Place is an extraordinary feat of architecture and craftsmanship. The fantastical and opulent interior reflects Astor's life through his interests of literature, history and modern technologies as well as showcasing remarkable craftsmanship and architectural design.
During the opening, our friendly volunteer gallery stewards will be on hand to answer any questions and tell you about the building’s craftsmanship & history!
Our interactive family trails will also be available to help our younger visitors explore the stories and find the characters carved into the buildings walls. There will be an Art Cart with self-led crafts, drawing, and colouring, for visitors of all ages.
