The Ranger's house is a 5 minute wall from my house. I have lived in Lewisham for almost 3 years and I can't believe I have never been here before. The art collection is fantastic. There is even a Botticelli painting in there!!! The staff here are incredibly knowledgeable about the collection and offered a lot of insight into both the art collection and the Ranger's house. This is one of the best things to do in Greenwich but I don't feel as though I hear many people talk about it! If you are in South East London - make sure sure you include this - you definitly won't regret it.

Interesting place to visit. The Wernher collection is incredible to see. Sadly you cannot take any pictures. The facade of this house was used in Bridgerton

I love collections like this where you have such a variety of beautiful items brought together and reflecting the owners artistic tastes.
I actually didn't realise you couldn't take photos as no one said anything and there were no signs.
There are over 700 items on display across the two floors of this house. Perhaps my favourite items were the incredibly beautiful and intricate jewellery and the Renaissance Ceramics; the Maiolica on display here is tin-glazed pottery decorated in bright colours from 15th/16th Century.

The house was owned by German gold and diamond explorer. They had extensive collection of jewellery, paintings and items. Fantastic house and it’s small but surprisingly quite a lot to see. Bridgeton used the front of the house in the drama, which I knew it was always the case. There children friendly activities like puzzle and drawing in the house. Parking is free except a couple of the hours during the day Monday to Friday. The phots are not allowed inside the house, but we still had a good time in the house. It’s part of English Heritage site so it’s free entry for members.

Beautiful mansion in London used as the Bridgertons house in the Netflix series. Quite small but charming. I didn't go inside though, it was already closed at that time. You can also visit the Greenwich Park which is pretty close to the Rangers house and worth the look.

Couldn't go inside due to COVID, but it's a beautiful looking building and worth a look if you're in the area. Used as the main house of the Bridgerton family in the Netflix show Bridgerton.
