Deepdene House, English country house in Dorking, England
The Deepdene estate spread across twelve miles from Box Hill to Brockham, featuring ornamental gardens and Renaissance-style architecture.
Thomas Hope purchased the property in 1807, transforming it with orangeries, conservatories, and galleries while filling the spaces with antiques and sculptures.
The mansion served as a creative space where Benjamin Disraeli wrote portions of his novel Coningsby during his stays at the estate.
The Deepdene Trail, opened in 2016, allows visitors to explore the restored gardens and architectural elements of the former estate without admission fees.
During World War II, the Southern Railway headquarters at Deepdene coordinated operations for the Dunkirk evacuation through underground tunnels.
