Strawberry Hill House & Garden
With a National Art Pass you get
Created by Horace Walpole, Strawberry Hill is one of Britain's most eccentric Gothic Revival houses, home to a unique collection of Renaissance painted glass.
Transformed in the 18th century and open to visitors for over 250 years, this extraordinary building in Twickenham, by the River Thames, is internationally famous as Britain’s finest example of Georgian Gothic revival architecture and home to an increasingly important collection of paintings and objects.
Following a two-year restoration Strawberry Hill opened to the public in 2012, offering self-guided and guided visits, events and family activities as well as a café and shop.
Historic house
Admire intricate architectural details, pointed arches, and towering spires. The interiors are equally impressive, featuring Gothic-inspired furnishings, tapestries, and paintings.
Stained glass collection
Strawberry Hill’s beautiful collection of painted glass is one of its highlights. Book a guided tour and learn how the glass was curated, collected and reproduced, as well as the themes and context at Strawberry Hill.
Walpole's romantic garden
The Grade II* listed, five-acre garden has been carefully restored to its original appearance using Eighteenth Century maps and paintings as well as Walpole’s own writing.
Special events
The house often hosts seasonal events, exhibitions, lectures, concerts and workshops throughout the year.
