Please note that The Cosmic House will be closed from January until March 2025.
Tickets to visit The Cosmic House are released regularly on every third Friday of each month at 12 pm.
Standard ticket price is £8, while students pay £5.
The Cosmic House is open from April untill December, Wednesday to Friday, 12:30 pm to 5.00 pm. Tickets must be purchased in advance. A maximum of 15 visitors are allowed in the house at one time.
Please arrive only a few minutes before your allotted time. You will be able to sit on the exterior amphitheatre steps in front of the entrance.
Please be aware we have some restrictions on visiting, including no high heels, no under 12s, and a steep spiral staircase.
Photography is permitted and encouraged inside the Cosmic House. Flash photography, tripods, selfie sticks and large cameras are not allowed. We welcome sketching or drawing and the taking of notes anywhere in the house.
We have very limited space for storing coats and baggage, please only bring a minimum of belongings. We cannot allow large backpacks or bags to be worn inside the house.

The Cosmic House is in Holland Park, an area long associated with architects and artists. It has a rich legacy of radical houses, including the homes of Sir Frederick Leighton, William Burges, Linley Sambourne and others designed by Arts and Crafts architects Richard Norman Shaw and Phillip Webb.
The house is a five-minute walk from Holland Park Underground Station on the Central Line.
Buses 31, 94, 148 and 248 stop near the house.
There are no bike stands at the house, but there is bike parking at the Holland Park Underground Station.
The Cosmic House is in the Congestion Charging zone and there are some limited parking spaces with parking meters nearby.
We welcome visitors with disabilities but there are stairs both at the entrances and throughout the house so not every part of the interior will be accessible to all. Regretfully, due to layout, the house is inaccessible for wheelchairs. Please let us know about any special requirements in advance and we’ll try to make your visit as enjoyable as possible.
