We finally were able to go inside Chiswick House, but, alas, I was told that no photography is permitted. Chiswick House is one of the earliest examples of Classical design in England and, with its 65-acres of gardens, the birthplace of the English landscape movement. The house was built in 1726-1729, inspired by classical Italian design. It's not a huge house but it does have an interesting history and some spectacular rooms including the Blue Velvet Room with its walls covered in very groovy handwoven velvet wallcoverings.
