Magnificent neo-classical house and interiors, landscape park and gardens
With a spectacular mansion surrounded by gardens, park and farmland, Osterley is one of the last surviving country estates in London.
Once described as 'the palace of palaces', Osterley was created in the late 18th century by architect and designer Robert Adam for the Child family to entertain and impress their friends and clients.
Today you can explore the dazzling interior with handheld audio-visual guides, which bring the house to life in a completely new way. Outside the gardens are a delightful retreat from urban life and the park is perfect for picnics and leisurely strolls.
