London’s best kept secret<br />

Osterley House<br />

The streets circling Thornbury Park have a rich and<br />

vibrant past that can still be seen today. From around the<br />

15th Century, Spring Grove was a popular aristocratic<br />

seat and home to world-renowned artists including<br />

Vincent Van Gogh and William Turner.<br />

It would be impossible to describe<br />

Spring Grove without mentioning<br />

two stunning households that<br />

crown the area. To the north, the<br />

famous National Trust gardens of<br />

Osterley House stretch as far as<br />

the eye can see, easily earning the<br />

title as one of the largest open<br />

spaces in west London. A beautiful<br />

manor rests in the heart of the<br />

gardens, providing the setting for<br />

many films including ‘The Duchess’<br />

with Keira Knightley.<br />

In the opposite direction, Syon<br />

Park provides a great day out<br />

for the whole family, situated<br />

just across the river from Kew<br />

Gardens. Home to the Duke of<br />

Northumberland for over 400<br />

years, this fabled estate throws<br />

open its gates during the summer<br />

months for a calendar jam-packed<br />

with exciting events.<br />

Thanks to its vibrant heritage,<br />

Osterley and Spring Grove has<br />

now been designated as a<br />

Conservation Area.<br />
