About Marble Hill House
When looking for a peaceful day out in Twickenham, look no further than Marble Hill House. Set in 66 acres of beautiful riverside parkland, it is a real treat for the whole family. The house was built for Henrietta Howard, the mistress of King George II, in the 1700s to the designs of architect Roger Morris. The house and gardens were intended as an Arcadian retreat from crowded 18th-century London. Its grand interiors have been exquisitely restored and recreated and include a fine collection of early Georgian paintings. There can be few places in England which better recall the atmosphere of fashionable Georgian life.
