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 Soaneās 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.
