Strawberry Hill House & Garden

★ 4.6 · 957 reviews

Step into Strawberry Hill House, Horace Walpole's whimsical Gothic Revival "little castle" in Twickenham. Take the guided tour through turrets, fan vaulting, and stained glass, then unwind with a coffee in the garden cafe.

Reasons to go

  • Built from 1749 by writer and politician Horace Walpole, it is widely credited as the house that launched the Gothic Revival movement in England.
  • Its turrets, fan vaulting and stained glass were designed purely for romantic medieval effect rather than any defensive purpose.
  • Guides stationed in each room bring Walpole's original playful vision to life, a detail reviewers say self-guided visits miss.
