A friend recommended a visit to Leighton House, and it was fascinating. The house and neighborhood are beautiful, and the history is interesting. I’d highly recommend a visit with a break for tea and cakes in the lovely cafe.

After reading the description of food choices online at the museum’s website, we planned our day to include lunch here, but we were disappointed. The line was long and very very slow to check out. There were self service grain bowls that you had to weigh and pay for. There were 3 choices of sandwiches for $13 each, which we got. Mine was mostly bread with a couple of small slices of mozzarella and tomato. We know that it’s hard to find good help these days, but they could have figured out a better way to have people check out. Many families with small children had to wait in line a long time. The food could definitely be better and gosh, a little cheaper. Whoever is running Museum food service is bad.
