Is the Gentle Author turning his hand to photography? More an d more of his excellent photos in various blogs, these being particularly excellent. And no pesky human beings to get in the way of the beautiful buildings and gardens!

I am lucky to have Chiswick House on my doorstep and visit regularly. I love the place. The Beatles seemed to like it here too, check out this link which was filmed at Chiswick House in May 1966…

Looks like it was filmed yesterday.
Don’t be a stranger, 30 years is way too long, visit again soon.
All the best

My teenage years as a Londoner (the late 40’s and 50’s) were enlivened by much walking the streets inspired by reading but, sadly, Chiswick House never made it into the list of places to go. Indeed, I think it was never heard of. So I am grateful to you, Gentle Author, for filling a very particular hole.

I visited a couple of years ago and was surprised that there is no admission fee. The gardens are larger than I had imagined and there is plenty of impressive architecture to admire. Possibly less well known than other gardens and, as a result, less visited.
