Description

Chiswick House is among the most glorious examples of 18th-century British architecture and makes a fascinating day out in West London. The 3rd Earl of Burlington, who designed this noble Roman-style Palladian villa, drew inspiration from his Grand Tours of Italy.

The Gardens - birthplace of the English Landscape Movement - are open following a major restoration which has revealed the original vistas and repaired the statues and garden buildings. There's also a fantastic café in a RIBA award-winning building that looks out on the gardens and house.

If you are looking for Best place for day out with kids and families then this is the perfect destination offering fun, adventure, and unforgettable memories for everyone.
