If you’re looking for a romantic spot to visit this weekend, this historic house and gardens in London made an appearance on Bridgerton.
With it being Valentine’s weekend, many people may be looking for some scenic places to visit for a romantic walk over the weekend.
Located in the leafy riverside neighbourhood of Chiswick, this 18th century house and gardens is a prime example of Georgian architecture.
Eagle-eyed Bridgerton fans may also have spotted the house, which made an appearance in the third season of Bridgerton, with the exterior of the house appearing in episode six - Romancing Mister Bridgerton.
The house is also rumoured to be appearing in the latest season of Bridgerton, which is expected to return to our screens in 2026.
The house was designed by the 3rd Earl of Burlington to showcase his extensive collection of artefacts and art he’d acquired during his travels.
Chiswick House is considered to be one of the earliest examples of the ‘neo-Palladian’ style in England, which had a huge influence on the design of country houses during the 18th century in England.
Its 66-acre gardens are also considered to be the birthplace of the English Landscape Garden, where you’ll find lots of interesting architecture as well as a lake which is overlooked by a bridge, making it a great place for a romantic stroll.
The gardens themselves hold a Green Flag and have a rare Grade I listing, and at this time of year you can expect to see early spring bulbs like daffodils and crocuses.
The gardens are home to a mix of winding pathways, along with woodland areas with over 1,600 trees planted on the grounds, with plenty of spots to enjoy the scenery.
The house itself will be closed until May 22, but the gardens are worth a visit alone on account of the scenic views, as well as the natural wildlife you can spot on a walk.
Chiswick Gardens are open from 7am until 5pm daily, with the nearest station at Chiswick with a train taking 25 minutes from London Waterloo.
