Syon House, Grade I listed house museum in London Borough of Hounslow, England
Syon House is an estate in London Borough of Hounslow that includes an Elizabethan mansion, gardens and a conservatory. The interiors show work by Robert Adam from the 1760s, including painted ceilings, marble floors and ornate walls running through each hall.
The estate arose from 1547 onward on the site of a medieval abbey founded by Henry V in the early 15th century. After the dissolution of the monasteries, the property passed to the Seymour family and was later redesigned in the 18th century.
The rooms still carry the names of their original functions and display furniture, paintings and decorative objects collected over generations by the same family. The ceilings and walls reflect the taste of the Georgian era, when such interiors served as stages for social gatherings.
Access is through Park Road, and the estate typically opens from spring through autumn on selected days. The gardens lie on level ground without major slopes, making most areas easy to walk.
The conservatory from 1827 was the first large building in England made entirely from metal and glass when it was completed. Its construction later became a model for larger glasshouses and railway halls across the country.
