LONDON LIFE
A LONDON GEM REVIVED
Marble Hill House returns as one of outer London's most picturesque Thames riverside attractions this spring, after a two-year programme of works by English Heritage -generously supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund-to revive the interior and the property's 66 acres of parkland.
Built in 1724–29 for Henrietta Howard, Countess of Suffolk, who became George II’s mistress, a team of gardeners and volunteers has reinstated the long-lost garden design that Charles Bridgeman created for the Countess, with advice from the poet Alexander Pope).
