Osterley Park House
Set in a 350 acre oasis in the heart of urban London, Osterley Park House is a fine Tudor building dating from 1562 and transformed into a neo-classical villa in the 18th century by Robert Adam.
With its impressive portico and stunning interior design and furniture, Osterley House offers one of the most complete examples of Adam's work. It was executed between 1760 and 1780 for the Child family, the immensely wealthy founders of Child's Bank. A 16th century stableblock also survives intact and is still in use today.
The beautiful grounds, which include formal gardens, meadow and classical garden buildings, are home to a wide range of animals and plants, including a host of unusual varieties of trees. Following the acquisition of more land around Osterley Park, work is ongoing to restore the entire estate to its 18th century glory.
The estate also includes the Jersey Galleries, which feature a programme of contemporary art from April to October.
