Vikings arrive in London, practice next to mansion built in 1547

LONDON — In 1547, Syon House was erected under the ownership of the first Duke of Somerset. On Thursday, the NFL arrived.

The Vikings touched down in London on Thursday morning in preparation for Sunday’s game against Cleveland at Twickenham Stadium. Four hours later they took to the field for a walk-through in the shadow of a palatial mansion that was “redecorated” under the commission of the first Duke and Duchess of Northumberland in 1762.
