Linley Sambourne House, 18 Stafford Terrace, W8
This perfectly preserved Victorian townhouse, dating from 1874, was home to cartoonist Edward Linley Sambourne. Maintained by the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea, almost all of its original furniture and fittings are intact, which would make it ideal for a Merchant-Ivory production. And guess what? It features in two. It was the “well-appointed home” of prissy Cecil Vyse (Daniel Day-Lewis) in A Room With a View, and the London house of Clive Durham (Hugh Grant) in Maurice.
