Opening times and tickets
Chiswick House Gardens are free for everyone, everyday.
Thanks to our supporters, the stunning gardens here are free for everyone, everyday.
Internationally recognised and locally loved, they are home to lots of wildlife and over 1,600 trees that clean and cool the air. Visit for a relaxing day out, acres of green space, and a break from everyday hustle and bustle.
As the first ever English landscape garden, nurtured alongside the 18th century Palladian villa, Chiswick House & Gardens also has a special place in garden design and architectural history. There is always something exciting to discover here.
The gardens are open daily from 7am until dusk all year round.
October closing time is 6.30pm.
To help you plan your visit, please check out our planned closures page to avoid disappointment.

Free to enter – new this year!
The Kitchen Garden is now closed, it will be re-opening Spring 2025.
A beautiful garden setting, it is a little gem we shall return to again and again!
