You cannot really say you have experienced Dennis Severs' House until you have taken the Dennis Severs' Tour...

This is based on recently discovered audio tapes of Dennis doing the tour himself. The dialogue has been edited & arranged by Spitalfields Life. I know the house well but the tour made me see it as if for the first time - as with all great works of art there's always more.

It's worth every penny. There's a line at the end which haunts me to this day. Spitalfields Life Dennis Severs' House

Dennis Severs' House A fabulous once in a lifetime visit. Dennis Severs House is an unforgettable experience packed full of smells, noises and curios. You're immediately transported to bygone days of ye olde England. I loved it when I visited 💙

Dennis Severs' House My husband and I took the full tour in Feb of '23, was the highlight of our trip to England! A great story told through our tour guide and the meticulously crafted rooms. Worth every penny for such a unique experience!

The widow Jervis contemplates her possessions on the chimneypiece and writes in her commonplace book: Paraphernalia came to English via Medieval Latin, from Greek “parapherna,” meaning 'bride's property beyond her dowry' (from para-, meaning 'beyond,' and phernē, meaning 'dowry')

Tulipières are the most complex forms Simon Pettet made. They became popular in the 17th century – when the bulbs changed hands for fortunes – allowing the flowers to be grown indoors (each spout was intended to take a bulb rather than a cut flower).

Tasting History And Dennis Severs' House in London is an amazing and unique attraction - a tour and history and a play all in one!
