Message from Rosie Carr

Somerset House is a swanky Neoclassical complex in central London, right by the River Thames. Originally built on the site of a Tudor palace, this place has some serious history. Designed by Sir William Chambers back in 1776, it's been home to various government offices and artsy organizations over the years. With its grand Georgian architecture and cool courtyard vibes, Somerset House is like the fancy older sibling you wish you had – classy, cultured, and always up for a good time.
