Having to work on getting the new office together, I am finding myself drawn to the whole idea of the Victorian artist's studio at the moment. One of the best examples of this is to be found not far from me in Holland Park, in Leighton house, the home of Pre-raphaelite painter Frederic Leighton. It has everything you would want from a Victorian studio - a copious number of easels, rugs, piles of books, a decorative screen, as well as an impressive collection of objet d'art collected during Leighton's many travels. The studio is no longer as it was, but much of the house is - below is a picture of the extraordinary Arab Hall. It's well worth a visit, visit www.rbkc.gov.uk/LeightonHouseMuseum for more information.
