Question of the week: Tell us about one of your favourite London buildings "Sir John Soane's Museum. Sir John Soane was a renowned architect and collector of art and antiquities, who transformed his house into a museum of art, architecture, and antiquities in the early nineteenth century. Located at No. 13 Lincoln's Inn Fields, near Holborn Underground Station, this building stands out as one of London's most delightful and informative small museums, filled with fascinating works of art, architectural sketches and models, and fabulous classical statues and artefacts, as well as Medieval, renaissance, and Neo-Classical artwork. Overall, it is a fabulously rich and curiously eccentric collection, and the house/museum structure itself is an architectural wonder. A very special place to visit."
