Description


Chiswick House

Chiswick House is a Palladian villa in Burlington Lane, Chiswick, in the London Borough of Hounslow in England. Arguably the finest remaining example of Neo-Palladian architecture in London, the house was designed by Lord Burlington, and completed in 1729. The 65 acre (0.26 km2) gardens, mainly created by architect and landscape designer William Kent, is one of the earliest examples of the English landscape garden.
