Pourquoi les habitants le recommandent

This is no ordinary National Trust property. This 1535 Tudor house was built by a courtier of Henry VIII and is the oldest domestic building in the east of London. When you stand in the imposing oak-paneled Great Chamber, there’s a rich sense of history, but this is also a forward-thinking venue, with some brilliant late-night tours and LGBT events. One of its unusual treasures is a wall mural painted by squatters who moved in during the 1980s and had punk gigs in the basement. The mural’s single eye on a vermillion backdrop remains a visible reminder of their takeover of this gorgeous building—you just know those gigs would have been incredible.

This is the oldest surviving building in East London. Built in 1535 by prominent courtier of Henry VIII, Sir Ralph Sadleir, Sutton House retains much of the atmosphere of a Tudor home despite some alterations by later occupants, including a succession of merchants, Huguenot silkweavers, and squatters. Discover oak-panelled rooms, original carved fireplaces and a charming courtyard.
