Spencer House, London

Spencer House is a mansion in St James's, London. It was commissioned by John, 1st Earl Spencer, in 1756, who wanted a large London house to uphold his status. It is one of the first examples of the neoclassical style in London which then swept the country. It was the home of successive Earls and Countesses Spencer until 1895, when the house was let. It was used as a club and as offices. Today the house is open to the public for viewing, and also available for hire. It plays host to events of London high society.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
