The Wernher Collection At Ranger's House Description
A handsome red brick house which lies between two of London's great open spaces, Greenwich Park and Blackheath. Ranger's House was built for a successful seafarer, Admiral Francis Hosier around 1700 who sited the house within view of the Thames estuary.
A later owner Lord Chesterfield, used to boast that the grand bow-windowed gallery commanded the three finest views in the world.
