Open daily from 7am until dusk, all year round.

Thanks to our supporters, the stunning gardens are free for everyone to enjoy, every day.

Internationally recognised and locally loved, the gardens are home to abundant wildlife and more than 1,600 trees that help clean and cool the air. Visit for sweeping green views, peaceful walks and a chance to slow down away from the everyday.

As the first English landscape garden, created alongside the 18th century Palladian villa, Chiswick House & Gardens holds a special place in the history of garden design and architecture. From historic monuments to hidden pathways, there is always something new to discover.

The Kitchen Garden

Open:
Every Thursday & Friday from Thursday 5 – Thursday 26 March.
Every Thursday to Sunday from Thursday 26 March – Sunday 1 November.

At the centre of the 65-acre grounds we run an open, working Kitchen Garden where everyone is invited to wander, taste what’s growing, and enjoy activities run with and for our local community.

Artist Studios

Our artist and maker studios, created from refurbished historic sheds, stables and outbuildings in our underused ‘back of house areas’, officially opened in May 2025, with our first artists moving in later that summer. We host regular Community Open Days where visitors can enjoy meeting our resident artists and taking part in free creative workshops, suitable for all ages.

Chiswick House

The House will reopen 21 May 2026, Thursday – Sunday 10.30am – 3.30pm

Discover a Neo-Palladian architectural marvel designed by two Georgian trendsetters, William Kent and Richard Boyle, the third Earl of Burlington. Replete with ornate details and striking works of art, there’s something to admire everywhere you look. This year, you’ll also see a very special 19th-century picture depicting Queen Victoria attending a fashionable garden party right here at Chiswick House!

We offer group tours in the House all year round, find out more here.
