Chiswick House is a octagonal domed Palladian villa in Chiswick, in the London Borough of Hounslow, West London.
Inspired by the Villa Capra "La Rotonda" near Vicenza, Richard Boyle, 3rd Earl of Burlington and 4th Earl of Cork PC (1694 – 1753) designed the villa with William Kent and had it constructed in 1726-9. A fine example of 18th-century architecture, featuring colonnaded portico on the upper storey, frescoed ceilings, velvet rooms and stone rooms. The mansion houses a superb collection of paintings and Palladian furnishings. The gardens are acknowledged by many as the birthplace of the English landscape movement.
