    Came here as an alternative to Kew gardens. I was expecting to be entertained but not this much. The house has a plain facade but inside is full of history and grandeur. Its reasonably priced for the house and or gardens but we got a deal for 5 pounds each for 2 adults for the lot. Every Royal has spent time there from King Edward onwards right up to King Charles III. Hear the story of the 9 day Queen. They have guides in all the rooms who are actually paid. They were so knowledgeable, they deserve it. We spent so much time in the house we didn't get a chance to fully visit the garden. If you like history and gardens this is an all afternoon affair. If I have another chance I'll be back. Recommended.

    The park and house are worth a visit as multiple rooms on the ground floor and two in the basement to view. Don’t miss the small exhibition/information in the basement (past the kitchen) as it provides the most information about the house. The volunteers/workers are very informative (especially given the few signs around). Grounds are also worth a wander. Toilets are clean, big garden shop, restaurant.

    Syon house is now my favourite historic house. Not only was the house very ostentatious and ornate, the conservatory, the gardens, the courtyard, the lake walks, everything was just picture perfect. The cherry on top was the garden center, with its huge collection of plants and garden equipment. We also enjoyed a very delicious meal at the courtyard restaurant where the food was not very expensive and yet very well made.

    An amazing estate house and an absolutely breathtaking conservatory. The admission prices are very modest and an adult ticket for gardens and house is £13. There is also a garden centre which serves some food too. You can use the large free car park available if you are driving there. I'm giving 5 stars because it was a great experience and very enjoyable.

    Interesting attraction with modest admission charges it has a historical house, an absolutely beautiful conservatory, a small garden and one of best garden centres within London. There is a pleasant restaurant/cafe with plenty indoor and outdoor sitting. There is even a nice food shop with a butcher counter. Best of all, free parking. The house is probably best viewed from a far from the opposite bank of river Thames. The conservatory with it glass central dome is probably one of most beautiful I have seen. We visited twice, once in the morning and once in the afternoon, on both occasions the place was not at all busy, highly recommended place for a relaxed outing.

    Had no idea how big syon house was always drove past and went to the garden centre but never did the tour or the gardens. However we had some free time and was not disappointed we both loved the gardens and the lake and seeing all the wildlife there was incredible. The house itself was fascinating and full of history and the man giving the tour was great highly recommend

    Stunning grounds and property. Have visited a few times now which already proves it track record as a fantastic venue. I attended a string quartet evening at the conservatory which made for such a memorable evening, there are other events held throughout the year and as a wedding venue. A time capsule to grand past era. Also in the vicinity there is a garden centre, further grounds to walk and a substantial children’s play area.

    The house is stunning, and the conservatory & gardens are beautiful, unique, and impressive! Residents of the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames get a discount, which I was able to get. I love Syon House, and I'll recommend it to anyone in the area!

    Everything about this place is positive. Beautiful grounds and walks around the lake. House interior interesting with lots of info from the guide. Restaurant and cafe on sight with good coffee. Spectacular conservatory.

    What an incredible place! I didn't know where to look first. The ceilings are particularly spectacular, so remember to look up!

    Absolutely LOVE shooting events at Syon House. Honestly what a hidden gem, this venue exceeds my expectations every time. Such a beautiful setting and the house and conservatory are grand but elegant at the same time. The staff really went out of their way to be helpful and considerate to all of the couples requests to shoot in specific locations on their special day! Thanks Lauren for all the hard work & see you again soon Syon events team :)

    Lovely house, we went on a weekday and it was quiet. The tour was excellent, lots of interesting information, well paced (just over an hour) and the rooms were impressive. The conservatory, lake and gardens were pleasant and well designed (by Capability Brown himself!), taking about an hour to go round. Kew Gardens on the other side of the river is larger and more impressive, but without the house to visit of course.

    I regularly go to Kew Gardens, but as the weather was forecast to be sunny, I decided to explore somewhere different. I anticipated that it wouldn’t take long, and I could then go to Kew Gardens after. I was wrong, I could have spent longer here. The house is worth a visit, but the conservatory and gardens were my favourite. I went on a Sunday and it wasn’t crowded, which I like as an introvert! It’s a hidden gem, and wish I could have had more time to have a picnic in the gardens. I’ll definitely go back to visit the gardens again. In terms of getting there, I took the district line to Gunnersbury Station. As I exited the station, I turned right to bus stop A, and I could take either the 237 or 267 to Brent Lea. As soon as you get off, there is a clear sign post pointing to the pedestrian entrance, and a few minutes of walking you’re there. There is a gardening centre, cafe (sandwich and drink cost around £8), if you plan and it’s a nice day, you can bring your own and have it in the gardens.Toilet is clean. Nice day out if you like your history and enjoy a stroll in the gardens.

    Beautiful place full of history and amazing scenery. Tickets’ prices are fair if compared with the amount of things you can do and see inside. Very nice and wide garden. Wheelchairs available if needed. Great for family days out

    If I bought a large pizza but recieved a small one, because the large pizza oven was closed today..I wouldn't expect to pay for the large one. Not the same with big houses in the country it would seem If you are going to close half of the house, why am I paying full price? Or is it double when you do open? Not really worth £13. Oh, and the group of dope smoking "youths" in the gardens kinda ruined the ambiance...

    The garden centre and cafe next door is free to the public. The park is quite lovely and extensive, with mostly woodland. Parking nearby.

    I LOVED Syon House. We did a tour, the tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. The tour was longer than an hour, so we left early to see the gardens. I suggest visiting early to assure you will have enough time to see everything. Also, tours are not every day so call ahead of time. I enjoyed learning about the decor and the history of some of the past occupants. If you are a fan of the Netflix series Bridgerton, you will recognize many scenes are filmed in Syon House. There is a little market that has snacks, the sweets are old, but the crisps were delicious!

  • 5/5 Bob B. 2 years ago on Google
    A very interesting place full of history. With knowledgeable staff to guide you through each section of the house, there is so much to learn. Unfortunately not all of the house is open to the public yet due to the covid restrictions, but what of it is, is brimming with interesting people and their stories. If you don't fancy that, there are extensive gardens. You really do need to visit more than once to take it all in.

    We had our wedding at Syon House, and it was absolutely superb from start to finish. The venue was absolutely stunning (both the Manor House and the Conservatory), and was the perfect backdrop for our special day. But our biggest compliments go to the team at Syon House - Laura, Victoria and co. were incredible. From the months running up to the event, through to the day of the event itself, the Syon team were truly remarkable. I'd recommend hosting an event at Syon House to anyone - worth every penny!

    Great venue, beautiful ambience, super supportive staff to make any event a success.

  • 5/5 Bia G. 9 months ago on Google
    I truly felt like I was part of the Netflix series Bridgerton, such a magical place! It’s perfect for a calm walk and relaxing in nature, definitely worth the visit.

  • 5/5 Halo S. 9 months ago on Google
    One of the most stunning venues in London. Our string trio performed for a wedding ceremony and drinks reception.

  • 5/5 Pamela H. 9 months ago on Google
    Although the exterior is not as stunning as a lot of country houses, the interiors are superb. It has a homely feel that no other estate house has. The gardens are so peaceful for a London location and great to relax. The Great Conservatory is stunning and a great photo opportunity. If you like period dramas you will recognise a lot of the interiors in many movies and TV shows.

    We absolutely loved our visit to Syon House, especially the exquisite architecture, the fascinating history told by the knowledgeable staff dotted around the house and very impressive Conservatory.

  • 5/5 Michelle C. 1 year ago on Google
    Must see local gem! Syon house was on my to-do-list since moving to the area a year ago. Our visit completely surpassed expectations. We opted for the guided tour (locals receive a discounted ticket price); the length, quality, and personal nature of the tour extends well beyond the modest ticket price (£14 or £11.20 with discount). After our tour we visited the Conservatory - beautiful although partially closed for a photography booking. We hid from the wind and rain in the garden centre (and amazing shop with local foods) and finished our visit of at the Clockwork Cafe. This was the perfect morning adventure, however if the weather is nicer when you visit I would recommend a walk around the lake east of the house or a visit to the Thames south of the house.

    Wow. What an amazing setting for a wedding. It is overwhelming beautiful and the grounds are fantastic. Well done all the staff x

  • 4/5 Shark 1 year ago on Google
    I love Syon Park House and I went to the Enchanted Woodland last night. It was great to be back after years since the pandemic. It was a little sad as there were less lights this year. What made me really sad was the lovely restaurant at the end was closed. That was one of the best things about Syon and its all gone. The lovely food, venison burgers& mulled wine. Instead we have some teeny food snack vans outside. Such as shame. But the staff hired for the event are so lovely, friendly and caring. If they could restore the restaurant for next year, that would be amazing!

  • 5/5 Jasmine B. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a guided tour of the house. Carla was very informative and knowledgeable and an exceptional guide! Beautiful house and grounds with such interesting history. Definitely worth a visit!
