Rooms and capacities

The Chiswick House is a villa designed by Lord Burlington and inspired by classical Italian architecture. The Courtyards carry the same 18th-century Palladian symmetry, with stone façades and well-proportioned spaces. The Domed Saloon is among the named rooms in the house. The Garden Studios are a separate space that is excluded from the current venue hire offer.
