The Sharks @ Osterley

Originally built in the 16th century, as a home for Sir Thomas Gresham, a notable financier who worked for the Royal Court and founder of the Royal Exchange.

It's claimed that Elizabeth 1st was one of many illustrious visitors.

The house was re-designed by Robert Adam between 1761 and 1765 at which time the estate was purchased by Nicholas Barbon. The house was designed in a neo classical decor.

The National Trust took control of the estate in 1991 and park and house are open to visitors.

This was a 'last minute,spare afternoon' visit. We absolutely loved the place! The house is interesting. The gardens, whilst not big, are really lovely. It's a lovely walk round the property.There are some magnificent trees.
We would highly recommend a visit.

Great National Trust Property, set in extensive parkland in the west of London. The house opens at 11, and the cafe opens at 10. The park though is open from 9 for a good walk. The gardens close to the house are informal and lead naturally from house to open parkland with large ponds popular with local ducks.
The house is a delight of traditional decoration. Do chat to the room guides they were so knowledgeable and brought the rooms to life. Thank you.
We spent a good couple of hours in the house and immediate gardens/parkland, plus an hour in the cafe having a snack lunch and coffee. The lunch choices are limited to soup, pasties, hot sausage rolls and baked potatoes. If you want something more substantial I'm sure that there are local pubs and restaurants that  would provide more.
