Time Out says

Richard Boyle, the third Earl of Burlington, designed this romantic Palladian villa in 1725. The house was a showpiece, in which the Earl could display his fine collection of paintings (many of which remain), for the entertainment of the artistic and philosophical luminaries of his day. The house is lovely – and nowadays enhanced by a startlingly modern but thoroughly appropriate café – but the gardens are absolutely gorgeous, a place to stroll in regal tranquillity.

What’s on

Twelve Days of Christmas

Chiswick House is now formally closed for 2025 in its usual English Heritage day-to-day incarnation. But this festive season the magnificent Neo-Palladium pile will open for holidays for the first time in a special incarnation – staged by trailblazing live entertainment company Underbelly – that aims to capture the opulent hubbub of a Georgian Christmas, in a presentation themed around the contemorary carol ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’. Basically it’ll be very Christmassy, and show the house off as a place for entertainment – as it was in the past when people lived there – and not just a dry historical exhibit. It’s suitable for all ages, and will be further pepped up with an eighteenth century-style Father Christmas’s Grotto.
