Ranger's House is an early 18th‑century villa in Greenwich Park, London, historically associated with the office of the Ranger of the Park. Its elegant Georgian architecture and largely intact period interiors offer insight into aristocratic domestic life, while successive owners and collectors contributed to its character. The house is best known for the Wernher Collection, an important assemblage of Renaissance and later decorative arts — including tapestries, jewellery, enamels, sculpture and fine furniture — presented in historic rooms. Its gardens and raised setting provide notable views toward the River Thames and the surrounding historic landscape of Greenwich. Ranger's House is culturally significant as an example of a country house adapted within an urban park and as a repository of international decorative art. It is open to the public at scheduled times with an admission charge; accessibility provision is available though some historic rooms may have limited access.
