  The central London branch of the Historical Association has arranged a private guided tour of Spencer House, London’s finest surviving 18th century aristocratic palace, on 17 December. Built between 1756-1766 for John, first Earl Spencer, an ancestor of Diana, Princess of Wales, Spencer House is in St James’s Place and is recognised as one of the most ambitious aristocratic town houses ever built in London and the city’s only great eighteenth-century private palace to survive intact. This magnificent house has regained the full splendour of its late eighteenth-century appearance after a ten-year restoration undertaken by RIT Capital Partners plc, under the Chairmanship of Lord Rothschild. Tickets are ÂŁ16. For further information about this and other Historical Association events, please email chrissie@ganjou.com or you can download a booking form here.
