For art lovers, the Pitzhanger Manor House and Gallery is the flagship cultural venue in the district. The venue comprises the Grade I listed house once owned and designed by Sir John Soane (1753-1837), architect and surveyor to the Bank of England, and the adjacent gallery housed in the 1939 extension. Pitzhanger sits within the grounds of Walpole Park and  its historical significance dates back to 1800 when it was purchased alongside the manor by John Soane. The house was partially restored and opened to the public in the 1980s. The gallery opened in 1996 and since then has played host to seven major art, architecture and design exhibitions annually, showing works by UK and international artists.
