English Heritage- Kenwood House
Kenwood House is looking for Explainers to bring it's eclectic History to life.
On the edge of Hampstead Heath surrounded by tranquil landscaped gardens, Kenwood is one of London's hidden gems. The breath-taking interiors and stunning world-class art collection, including Rembrandt's 'Portrait with Two Circles' are free for everyone to enjoy. We are looking for friendly and enthusiastic people to help our visitors to understand and enjoy their visit to Kenwood House, and help us to bring this magnificent site to life.
