About

Strawberry Hill House is the extraordinary Gothic Revival villa created by Horace Walpole, son of Britain's first Prime Minister. Built from 1749, Walpole transformed a modest Thames-side house into a Gothic fantasy that sparked a nationwide architectural movement. The house features theatrical interiors with elaborate Gothic details, vaulted ceilings, and intricate plasterwork.

Recently restored to its former glory, Strawberry Hill showcases Walpole's pioneering vision and houses his collection of curiosities. The house is set in beautiful gardens overlooking the Thames.
