Venue Review
Character: An elegant early Georgian villa.
Funky Features: Home to the Wernher Collection, a glittering spectacle of 700 Renaissance works of art, views across the private walled garden, Greenwich Park's rose garden and the Heath.
Location and History
Ranger’s House is an elegant Georgian villa built in 1723, which became the official residence of the ‘Ranger of Greenwich Park’. From 1815 this post was held by Princess Sophia Matilda, niece of George III. It remained an aristocratic and then royal home until 1902.
The house stands on the borders of Greenwich Park, and the Meridian Line passes through its grounds. Today it houses the Wernher Collection - an astounding display of medieval and Renaissance works of art, all purchased by the diamond magnate Sir Julius Wernher (1850-1912).
Interior and Spaces for Hire
Arranged within the panelled interiors of this graceful mansion, the Wernher Collection presents a glittering spectacle - a sumptuous arrangement of silver and jewels, paintings and porcelain.
Nearly 700 works of art are on display, including early religious paintings and Dutch Old Masters, minute carved Gothic ivories, fine Renaissance bronzes and silver treasures. Together these pieces reveal the genius of medieval craftsmen, and the unparalleled quality of Renaissance decorative arts.
With Greenwich and Blackheath nearby, Ranger’s House makes a great day out.
