Oscar Wilde's House

This large museum traces the history of the British Army, and includes interesting and thought-provoking exhibits that go well beyond a collection of military equipment (though the museum does, of course, boast a large collection of it).

Garden founded by apothecaries in the 17th century to the medicinal properties of plants. It was only opened to the public in the 1980s, when it became a charity. The heat-sink caused by its thick walls, combined with the general waste heat of London itself, keeps the garden much warmer than it would otherwise be at this latitude. Due to this, the garden contains the world's most northerly example of a grapefruit outside of a greenhouse, and the largest fruiting olive tree in the country. The collection contains thousands of different plant species.

The American writer lived at this address from 1896 to 1897.

A retirement home for soldiers created by King Charles II. Tours around the listed building and grounds are regular and include the museum (which can be visited separately) whose exhibits contain military memorabilia donated by Chelsea Pensioners over the years.

In 1977, the London Dracula Society unveiled the plaque that marks the home of the author of Dracula.

Prestigious contemporary art gallery worth a visit.
