Syon House
Vicky Sartain
Syon House in Middlesex is the London home of the Duke of Northumberland, whose family were granted the former monastic site at the end of the 16th century. The Tudor mansion was remodelled by Robert Adam for the 1st Duke in 1760s and the interiors are an architectural tour de force – the great hall may be Adam’s finest classical work.
Features include 30-acre gardens within a 200-acre park transformed by ‘Capability’ Brown, and a stunning domed conservatory designed by Charles Fowler in the 1820s.
This property offers free access to HHA Friends and Members during normal opening hours – please check opening times.
The HHA represents 1500 privately-owned historic houses, castles and gardens throughout the UK. These are listed buildings or designated gardens, usually Grade I or II*, and are often outstanding. Many are considered to be iconic symbols of Britain’s unique heritage.
