No not mine. I wish! This is in the Pitzhanger Manor House in Ealing. Believed to have been around since the 16th century with several owners, it is now famously known as the country house of the architect John Soane. He substantially renovated the Manor which now features typical Soane style, curved ceilings, inset mirrors, false doors and wooden paneling.Partly restored it is currently used for weddings and private hire, exhibitions and public visits.

Canny see sausage, egg and chips there for breakfast!
He done well for a bricklayers son!
Beautiful Mo! Have a nice weekend.
That curved ceiling makes the room look cocoon-like.
Ahhh, I wish I knew about this house before! It's definitely worth to be visited
The ceiling is very unusual!
The pendentive/pendentive dome was a John Soane leit motif (inspired by and developed from his teacher, George Dance the Younger). He even put one on his wife's/his mausoleum and thence it inspired the red telephone box – I'm repeating my 18 March comment...
If I could have breakfast in a room like that every morning, dragging myself out of bed (I am not an early bird) would be just a bit easier :o)
