The National Trust site gem in London
Osterley Park and House is a neo-classical mansion that was originally a Tudor house built in the 1570s before being acquired by banker Sir Francis Child in 1713.
The home was passed down to the generations of Sir Francis's family, and in 1761, Scottish architect Robert Adam was hired to remodel and transform the grand mansion.
Adam worked on Osterley for nearly 20 years, making it into a stunning home inspired by his travels around Europe.
During the 1930s, the mansion was known as a 'party house', hosting many celebrity parties with Hollywood stars and even featuring in magazines.
Osterley has also been the backdrop for many hit films and shows, including The Dark Knight Rises, Vanity Fair and The Crown.
Visits to Osterely House are encouraged to explore the interior of the home to see Adams' creation.
Osterley Park and House is open daily from 9am to 5pm each day, however, areas of the National Trust vary in opening times.
Tickets are free for National Trust members, and there is a range of ticket options for both house and garden or just the garden.
You can get tickets via the National Trust.
