Kneller Hall, Grade II listed mansion in Whitton, London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, England.

The mansion extends across seventeen bays with two square pavilion towers, featuring stained glass windows and stone cupolas at its corners.

Originally built between 1635 and 1646 by Edmund Cooke, the property was purchased in 1709 by court painter Sir Godfrey Kneller who rebuilt it.

The Royal Military School of Music operated at Kneller Hall from 1857 to 2021, training generations of British Army musicians in this location.

The property now functions as the Upper School for Radnor House School, maintaining its long-standing connection to education in the region.

During World War II, the mansion temporarily served as the headquarters for the Commander-in-Chief of Home Forces in Britain.
