Two Temple Place

Who we are

Two Temple Place is a dazzling architectural gem in central London, built in 1895 by William Waldorf Astor, then the world’s richest man and part of a complex historic dynasty. Owned by a registered charity, in 2011 we opened our first annual free exhibition, and since then exhibitions have attracted over 400,000 visitors. We now also run a growing programme of cultural and community events and projects designed to open our doors more often, to more people.  Based in the middle of London, and defined by our greatest resource, the glorious Two Temple Place, with its fantastical décor and vivid history, we can be inspiration, home and provocation to the artists and cultural organisations and community groups we work with.
