Syon Park, Grade I listed park and garden in London Borough of Hounslow, United Kingdom

The 140-acre gardens of Syon Park feature a collection of 200 rare tree species and a lake inhabited by terrapins along the River Thames.

The land belonged to Syon Abbey from 1431 until 1539, when Henry VIII ordered its closure during the Dissolution of the Monasteries in England.

The grounds and buildings of Syon Park have appeared in numerous television productions, including Bridgerton, Killing Eve, Emma, and The Avengers.

Visitors can access the gardens through Park Road entrance, with admission fees applying during summer months while the park remains closed in winter.

In 1609, astronomer Thomas Harriot conducted the first telescopic observations of the moon from Syon Park, preceding Galileo's similar research by several months.
