London Butterfly House, Butterfly house in Brentford, England
The London Butterfly House was a butterfly facility in Syon Park featuring three greenhouses filled with hundreds of species from around the world. Visitors could walk through warm, humid rooms where colorful insects flew freely among plants and flowers.
The facility opened in 1981 and operated until 2007, when plans for a hotel development in the park forced its closure. Its collection of butterflies and plants was transferred to another location in Lincolnshire after it shut down.
The facility transferred its collection of butterflies and plants to The Butterfly and Wildlife Park in Long Sutton, Lincolnshire following its closure.
The site was located within Syon Park near a lake, allowing visitors to combine the experience with other park attractions. The temperature-controlled greenhouses ensured comfortable conditions for observing the insects regardless of outdoor weather.
The indoor tropical setting allowed visitors to walk through exhibits while observing multiple butterfly species in flight and learning about their life cycles.
