You can visit Horace Walpole's Library at Strawberry Hill House during any month of the year.

Visit the museum during opening hours to find similar lighting conditions. Arriving early will give yourself enough time to explore and take photos before the museum becomes busy.

I suggest using a wide-angle lens (24mm) to capture the entire wall of books.

There are a lot of elements to this room — the door, the floor, the chair, the shelves, the ceiling. Experiment with different angles and see what compliments or clashes.

Make sure to visit the red and golden hall! It's a gorgeous area that's great for taking photos.

Spend the day checking out the rest of the property and when you're finished, dine in at the cafe.
