Sutton House
2 & 4 Homerton High Street, London E9 6JQ

This red-brick mansion is the oldest house in East London, one of the capital's few Tudor merchants' houses to have survived in its original form. 

The house was built in 1535 for Sir Rafe Sadleir, Henry VIII's first secretary of state. 

It passed through several wealthy families before becoming a girls' school in the 17th century.  In the 18th century alterations were made to the front of the house and additions were made at a later date.  However, the Tudor fabric remains, with original brickwork, linenfold panelling and large fireplaces. 

Recent restoration has revealed 16th century details, even in rooms of later periods.  

Highlights include the medieval foundations in the cellar, Tudor, Jacobean and Georgian interiors, 17th century wall paintings and an Edwardian chapel. 

Its 16th century garderobe maybe the oldest lavatory in London!   

Today Sutton House is owned by the National Trust. 

Cafe and shop.
