The entrance hall to Lord Vauxhall's luxurious town house is more like those seen in Ancient Greece. The corridor is long and supported by golden marbled pillars. The walls and floor are made of gleaming white limestone which seems to dazzle the eyes. The entrance hall does not have much decoration as it does not need much, there is a Roman statue of Jupiter at the end of the entrance hall right before a vast set of stone sweeping steps which takes the house's occupants up to the first suite of rooms.

| Front Parlour
The Front parlour is decorated in shades of exotic apple and melba green. The floor is covered in a cool mint diamond patterned carpet and the curtains that surround the windows that over look the street are a pale spring green silk to match the colour of the velvet chaise longs pressed up against the walls and around the corner of the far side of the room. Along the walls hang golden framed portraits of family members and over the door hangs a golden silk drape which is lowered at night time. There is a polished round wooden table in the centre of the room with a china vase on top of it containing an incense burning, displaying his lordship's love of the exotic.
