Hogarth's House, built around 1700, was the country home of the great painter, engraver and satirist William Hogarth (1697-1764) from 1749 until his death. Hogarth's town house, in what is now Leicester Square, was demolished in 1870.
Fortunately his rural retreat in Chiswick - where he lived with his wife, mother-in-law and sister - has survived, and now is an oasis in busy West London.
Set behind old brick walls with delightful gardens containing Hogarth's mulberry tree, it retains a charm of its own where visitors can find out more about the 'Father of English Painting'.
The house was first opened to the public as a museum to Hogarth in 1904, and was restored in 1997 for the tercentenary of Hogarth's birth.
As well as learning about the story of Hogarth's life, the house also contains the most extensive collection of his engravings on permanent display.
