Explore Chiswick House, Lord Burlington's neo-Palladian villa inspired by his Italian travels. Wander the domed house and loop through the landscaped gardens, a restorative half-day escape of greenery and architecture just outside central London.
Reasons to go
Full description
Built in the 1720s by Richard Boyle, the 3rd Earl of Burlington, Chiswick House was conceived as a showcase for the neo-Palladian style he'd fallen in love with on his travels in Italy, its domed villa surrounded by grounds credited as an early influence on the English landscape garden movement later perfected at places like Stowe. Reviewers with a 4.6 rating praise the well-kept gardens for an easy loop walk as much as the house itself, describing a genuinely restorative spot that feels far removed from central London despite being a short trip out.
Its high walking intensity in the data reflects the sizeable grounds, making it a good half-day option for anyone wanting greenery alongside architecture.

Reviews
Attended an all you can eat ice cream festival at Chiswick house that my girl friend had organised last week. Beautiful location and back drop for a very relaxing afternoon and somewhat different experience. Well worth a visit.
