Somerset House is a stunning neoclassical building on the Strand in central London, originally built in the late 18th century as a government building. Today, it’s a vibrant arts and cultural center, hosting exhibitions, film screenings, concerts, and events throughout the year.
One of its most famous features is the beautiful courtyard, which becomes a dancing fountain plaza in summer and transforms into a magical outdoor ice rink in winter. Somerset House has also appeared in several films, including GoldenEye and Love Actually, making it a favorite spot for both locals and visitors.
