As well as the architecture there is an excellent collection of modern art, including surrealists, and works acquired in 1960s. House is special as Goldfingers lived here from 1939 until NT took over. - David Brown
Take a moment to meditate and relax at the stunning pagoda. Vistas along the Thames are amazing. - Dave Marshall
Went on a Weds in December and had a fantastic afternoon. Blissfully free of crowds, amazing views out over the city and (despite being sceptical) the slide was a lot of fun too. Highly recommended. - Russell Barnes
