| Garrick's Temple |
| Garrick's Temple was built on the banks of the River Thames at Hampton in 1756 by leading actor and theatre manager David Garrick to celebrate the genius of William Shakespeare. |
| The octagonal interior is dominated by a replica statue of Shakespeare - the original, sculpted by Louis Roubiliac in 1758, is safely housed in the British Museum. There is also an exhibition on the life and times of David Garrick. |
