Somerset House
Closest Hotels to Somerset House:
Established in 1997 in the heart of London, the Somerset House Trust was set up to conserve and develop Somerset House and the surrounding areas for public use. The stunning 18th century building has now been renovated and houses celebrated art collections in three exhibition areas: the Courtauld Institute of Art, the Gilbert Collection and the Hermitage Rooms. Outside, the redeveloped Courtyard is the venue for a summer schedule of concerts and events; during the Christmas and New Year period, the Courtyard is transformed into a popular ice skating rink that provides a welcome distraction for Christmas shoppers. When not holding events, the Courtyard's acclaimed Safra Fountain Court bursts into life with daily displays during the summer months.
