Garrick's Villa, Grade I listed English country house in Hampton, London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, United Kingdom.
The villa features yellow brick construction, a Corinthian columned portico, and connects to riverside gardens through an underground tunnel beneath Hampton Court Road.
David Garrick acquired Hampton House between 1753 and 1754, commissioning architect Robert Adam to make substantial alterations to the property in 1756 and 1775.
The Temple to Shakespeare, constructed around 1756, stands in the gardens as an octagonal brick structure with a lead dome that contained a Roubiliac-sculpted statue.
The temple section opens to visitors on Sunday afternoons from April through October, while the riverside gardens remain accessible daily from 7:30 AM until dusk.
A private tram track was built into the grounds during the early 1900s when Sir Clifton Robinson, Managing Director of London United Tramways, owned the property.
