We came for the Sunday tour, and loved the excellent guide who took us through the 8 rooms in approx. 1:10, going through the architecture, furniture, artwork, and the house's history.

Note that a lot of items are reproductions, and photos are only allowed in two rooms.

You need to prebook, though note it's free if you have the Historic Houses membership (email them). Toilets are available onsite, and the woman's in lower ground is fairly ornate. There was one large slight of stairs on the tour, but easy to navigate.

It was wonderful to step back into history as the first Earl Spencer would have lived it. The restoration has been masterfully applied. The guide (Betty) was wonderful. She was knowledgeable on art, architecture, and history. It is well worth a visit if you are in London. It is located by St James Palace, so you could visit Buckingham Palace and The Horses Guard as well. It is only open on Sunday, so some planning is required. Do book ahead.

Had the most wonderful time on this tour. We unfortunately did not catch our tour guides name but she mentioned that she loved the national portrait gallery and was phenomenal. I highly recommend visiting if you have a little over an hour to kill -this is a perfect Sunday outing. So interesting, beautiful and impressive. We were very lucky to get a rather small group at 3pm on a Sunday. They also mentioned that they are only open on Sundays because the building is used for offices during the week which was very good to know. I think this tour is more than worth the price, it is so thorough and interesting and all the staff are so helpful and kind. I would love to come back. I recommend buying tickets in advance but we were able to buy them there as well.
