Attraction in Brentford
Described by John Betjeman as 'the Grand Architectural Walk', Syon House and its 200 acre Thameside park is the London home of the Duke of Northumberland, whose family have lived here for 400 years. Originally the site of a late medieval abbey, Syon House has Tudor origins and contains some of Robert Adam's finest interiors, which were commissioned by the first Duke in the 1760s.
Within the 'Capability' Brown landscaped park are 40 acres of gardens which contain the spectacular Great Conservatory designed by Charles Fowler in the 1820s. Syon House and the Great Conservatory are available for corporate/private hire and weddings.
