Chiswick House, a Grade I listed building in West London, is a great example of 18th-century British architecture. The third Earl of Burlington, designer of this Neoclassical, Palladian villa, drew inspiration from his Grand Tours in Italy. The Gardens underwent a £12m restoration project which has reinstated the original vistas and repaired the statues and garden buildings.
During its long history, Chiswick House has also been used as an asylum and a fire station, and during World War II it was damaged when a V-2 rocket hit one of the twoLoadingwings. In 1966 the BeatlesBayused the gardens to shoot music videos. Filming Information
Filming and photography is welcomed at Chiswick House and Gardens. To ensure there is no possibility of damage to the buildings or gardens, as well as to reduce any potential inconvenience to the public, production companies must present detailed plans before approval is granted.
Filming inside Chiswick House is only allowed under certain circumstances. Chiswick House & Gardens Trust work in partnership with English Heritage to ensure the building and its contents are preserved for future generations. Unfortunately, this means that some requests will be declined.
Please discuss your proposal with FilmFixer at the earliest opportunity. Before filming is agreed, Chiswick House & Gardens Trust will need some time to examine your proposal and decide if the protection offered in the risk assessment and method statement is sufficient.
Filming in the gardens is much easier to arrange. We can issue filming agreements within one working day if the filming or photography is small scale, exterior only and does not affect the statues or structures within the gardens.
The site offers a three-phase power supply and a number of options for unit bases and crew parking. Full technical details as well as floor plans, rates and other helpful information is available on request. Interior Locations
The sumptuous interiors include three velvet rooms which feature Lord Burlington’s fine art collection and decorated ceilings. The Gallery is made up of three connecting rooms, linked by small, arched openings. The Upper Tribunal has a high domed roof. A spiral staircase leads to an atmospheric, octagonal brick cellar.
