Upton House and Gardens

Join us at Upton House this spring to see an exclusive collection of vintage posters from London’s 200-year-old Tottenham Court Road furniture store, Heal’s.

Upton House invites visitors to furnish a special made-to-measure doll's house. Our doll's house project celebrates the craftsmanship, artistic vision and devotion that Lord and Lady Bearsted, their architect, workforce and staff invested in the remodeling of Upton between 1927 and 1936.

Discover the treasures collected by Lord Bearsted over his lifetime. From rare porcelain to paintings by a wide variety of famous artists. All on display throughout the house just as they were in Lord Bearsted’s time.
