Chiswick House and Gardens Trust

About

Chiswick House is an 18th‑century Neo‑Palladian villa and its surrounding landscape gardens, designed by William Kent and located in the leafy suburb of Chiswick, London. Built between 1726 and 1729 for the 3rd Earl of Burlington, the house is celebrated as one of Britain’s finest surviving Palladian examples, boasting an exquisite collection of decorative arts and furnishings. The gardens, laid out in the early English landscape style, are a pioneering work that has inspired generations of landscape architects. The site is open to the public for free; visitors can explore the gardens, the house, and the Kitchen Garden, and book guided tours of the house and its art collection. A café, a playground for younger children, and a bakery offer refreshments and amusements for families and solo travellers alike.
