Six of the Best: 3: Leighton House

on BBC Two England

Edwin Mullins looks at six unusual London Museums

Lord Leighton was a rich and successful painter and sculptor. President of the Royal Academy and the only artist ever to have been made a peer, he built a great house for himself in a fashionable part of Kensington. It had an enormous studio, and an Arab Hall with a fountain and tiles brought from all over the Islamic world. Here he held court.
