Pitzhanger Manor-House, Ealing's flagship cultural venue, is a restored Georgian villa, once owned and designed by the architect Sir John Soane in 1800. Rooms have been restored using Soaneā€™s highly individual ideas in design and decoration. The house sits alongside a contemporary art gallery with a changing programme of events and exhibitions, and also The Studio gallery, for locally based exhibitions and an education space for schools, colleges, and community groups.
