Access

We want to make Chiswick House and Gardens open to everyone, every day

Please be aware that we don’t have a cloakroom available on site: please only bring what you can carry with you.

We have a map showing the accessible routes around the Estate which you can see below:

Information for people with a physical disability

Chiswick House:

Please visit the FAQs page for accessibility information about The Twelfth Night of Christmas.

The public car park for the House and Gardens is situated just off the westbound A4 and is clearly marked by a brown tourist board entrance sign. The car park has space for 60 cars including 3 spaces for Blue Badge holders, approximately a 5-minute walk to the House.

If you require accessible parking closer to the House, please email info@chgt.org.uk to book a parking place nearer to the front of the House. Spaces are limited and booking is required.

Gardens:

The majority of paths within the Gardens are level or gently undulating and have a smooth gravel surface. The steep incline on the Classic Bridge can be avoided by taking a short signed detour around the northern end of the serpentine lake.

Benches are accessible throughout the Gardens.

Café:

• The Café floor is flat and step-free. The doors are automatic.
• Public toilet facilities including a fully accessible bathroom are situated beside the Café.

Information for d/Deaf and hard-of-hearing people

• Assistance animals are welcome, and drinking water is available for them at the Café.

Information for blind and partially-sighted people

• Assistance animals are welcome, and drinking water is available for them at the Café.
