Worth getting off for
Head north to the Wallace Collection at Hertford House; give the paintings, furniture and armour time rather than making it a photo stop.
Where to eat
St Christopher’s Place has several sit-down options; it works better for a break than the busiest Oxford Street frontage.
A drink along the way
The Coach Makers Arms on Marylebone Lane is a nearby pub option.
A walk to make of it
Station → St Christopher’s Place → Wallace Collection → Marylebone High Street. Allow a half day with the collection.
Keep it free
The Wallace Collection’s permanent collection is free; check separate events and exhibitions.
With the family
Make the armour a focused family visit rather than attempting every gallery.
A little history
Hertford House preserves a major collection assembled by generations of the Hertford family and Sir Richard Wallace.
