点评:Our interest was sparked by an Antiques Roadshow programme that mentioned the Grayson Perry exhibition which sounded interesting in its own right. Already on our bucket list of places to visit, Pitzhanger accelerated up the list after this wonderful free publicity! Had no trouble finding the location as it is clearly marked on maps, whether paper or online! However, we agree that it would be of great benefit to Ealing’s main tourist attraction for better signposting, including strategically placed brown road signs on the main approaches to Ealing by road. We also took the precaution of checking that all was open, following disappointments elsewhere (arising from incorrect data online) on outings to other museums and galleries.
The lifts were still out of order but otherwise the visit was well worthwhile and we were not disappointed, despite appalling weather. The Manor House is well worth seeing in its own right, despite the lack of original furnishings and we found the staff very helpful. The Grayson Perry Vanity of Small Differences exhibition was much enhanced by watching the introductory video as suggested by reception and the gallery itself in the former library is a very impressive place. Good explanatory material throughout . Good shop for souvenirs of whatever is featured in the Gallery. Despite the bad weather, it was flooded with natural light. Pitzhanger was very much an unexpected treat, but a shame that the bad weather precluded a visit into Walpole Park.
If you are travelling by car, on-street parking is difficult because of 2 hour limit so best to use The Broadway shopping centre car park where charges are reasonable. We used a Just Park location in nearby Grange Road which was worth the slightly higher cost for an afternoon’s trouble-free stay. Beware delays on the North Circular if you have no option but to use it! We had to return home via Central London after queuing for an hour and getting nowhere!
翻译:我们的兴趣是由 Antiques Roadshow 节目引起的,节目中提到了 Grayson Perry 展览,这本身就很有趣。Pitzhanger 已经在我们的必去景点清单中,在这次精彩的免费宣传之后,它的位置更上一层楼!找到这个地点没有困难,因为它在地图上标记得很清楚,无论是纸质地图还是在线地图!但是,我们同意,如果能有更好的路标,包括在通往伊灵的主要道路上战略性地放置棕色路标,对伊灵的主要旅游景点大有裨益。我们还采取了预防措施,检查了所有地方是否都开放,因为在去其他博物馆和画廊时,我们感到失望(由于网上的数据不正确)。
电梯仍然无法使用,但除此之外,这次参观非常值得,尽管天气恶劣,我们也没有失望。庄园本身非常值得一看,尽管缺乏原始家具,我们发现工作人员非常乐于助人。接待处建议观看介绍视频,让格雷森·佩里 (Grayson Perry) 的“微小差异的虚荣心”展览更加精彩,画廊本身位于前图书馆,令人印象深刻。整个展览都有很好的解释材料。无论画廊展出什么,都可以买到纪念品。尽管天气不好,但自然光充足。Pitzhanger 是一个意想不到的惊喜,但遗憾的是恶劣的天气阻碍了我们参观沃尔波尔公园。
如果您开车旅行,由于 2 小时的限制,街边停车很困难,所以最好使用收费合理的百老汇购物中心停车场。我们在附近的 Grange Road 使用了 Just Park 停车场,虽然价格稍高,但下午的无忧无虑的住宿还是值得的。如果您别无选择,请小心北环线的延误!我们排了一个小时的队,却一无所获,不得不经由伦敦市中心返回家中!
