This is Apsley House, the London residence of the 1st Duke of Wellington... general and politician; he of the famous boots, kicking Napoleon's arse (poetic licence here) and publishing and being damned etc etc.

And yes, the light really is that yellow... too much isn't it!

I used to visit Apsley House when it was 1 of the outstations of the V&A Museum and therefore came under the Dept for Education and as the DES Welfare Officer I had to go wherever there were staff. It is a stunning building. Lynda · 2010-11-29: 11:17

You mean, because the "big" N was a short-arse, he gave him the boot? Seems rather demure compared to Blenheim. revenant · 2010-11-29: 11:21

Perhaps the Duke of Wellington needs a lesson on white balance?! ;-) girafferacing · 2010-12-04: 15:46
