Description

Chiswick House is a Grade I listed Palladian villa designed by Lord Burlington. The wings added by Wyatt were demolished in 1952. Lord Burlington resided here from 1729, and notable figures such as Charles James Fox, who died here in 1806, and George Canning, who died here in 1827, also lived at this location. Edward VII, when he was Prince of Wales, lived here for seven years. The house has been recently restored by the Ministry of Works. Chiswick House, along with its garden buildings and ornaments, forms a cohesive group.

Local climate

Chiswick House sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 700 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 92% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 90% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 30 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 64% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
