Apsley House faces the Wellington Arch, the Arc de Triomphe to commemorate the Duke's victory over Napoleon, and an elevator to climb the top, which is included in London Pass. On the top of the arch, besides being able to see, there are also some pictures and text exhibitions that introduce the famous Arc de Triomphe all over the world. The building itself is now an art museum. The Duke of Wellington collected many paintings of great masters. Especially when he fought in Spain and Belgium for a long time and was a personal friend with Goya. So in his collection, Spanish masters such as Goya, Venezuela and Dutch masters such as Rubens and Brugger occupied a large proportion, especially several paintings. Goya painted a huge portrait of the Duke of Wellington. The most interesting collection is a giant white marble nude sculpture at the entrance of the stairs. At first glance, it seems to be the God of war of ancient Greece and Rome. Looking at the face carefully, it is the emperor of Napoleon.

    I visited Wellington Arch and Appleley House on the third day of my London trip because I wanted to know everything about London. This is the Duke's residence in Wellington, which displays their collection of paintings and other collections. The building is large and beautiful, but the entrance is very simple, making it unclear whether it is open. Tickets are 9.5 pounds, only the first and second floors can be visited. When I went there were few people visiting, it was very quiet.

    We visited London many times, but never visited Applesley House before, and only visited it recently. It was the residence of the Duke of Wellington (Duke of Wellington); we visited it on Sunday morning and there were many tourists but it was not crowded. This mansion belongs to English Heritage

    The Upsley House has been restored to its original decoration. The Duke of Wellington's cultural relics and ownership are still preserved. Not only can we get a better understanding of Wellington's life, but also of this period in British history. We can also book dinner here.

    The London House of the Duke of Wellington, Apsley House, is a magnificent palace, the Battle of Waterloo and a great historic journey of Napoleon's lifelong interest. This house retains all the original furniture and wares to see, as well as the Duke's collection.

    Compared with other famous houses, the general's house is very simple in appearance, and there is no special feeling when he walks outside, but there is still a little surprise when he walks in. The content is very rich. It not only introduces Duke Wellington's life story and achievements, but also shows a large number of rich products. If you are interested in the history of Britain, especially the history of war, I believe this House will be a good choice.
