Disover The Real London
Chiswick House
Chiswick House is England's finest example of neo-Palladian architecture. It was built by Lord Burlington in 1729, inspired by Andrea Palladio's Villa Capra in Vicenza. Inside you can admire the Blue Velvet Room with gilded ceiling paintings, the Upper Tribunal and six Rysbrack paintings in the Green Velvet Room.
Chiswick House sits in beautiful gardens designed by William Kent, the founder of the English Landscape Garden movement. They invoke the classical Italian landscape complete with cypress avenues, an artificial river, Ionic temple and Doric column.
