Marble Hill House, London

Marble Hill House is a Palladian villa on the River Thames designed by Roger Morris, who collaborated with Henry Herbert, Earl of Pembroke.
The house was built in 1724-1729 for Henrietta Howard, Countess of Suffolk, and mistress of King George II. The Great Room has five architectural capricci by Giovanni Paolo Pannini and lavishly gilded decoration. The house also hosts a collection of early Georgian furniture and paintings and the Lazenby Bequest Chinoiserie collection.

Alexander Pope and Jonathan Swift both spent time at Marble Hill as guests of Henrietta Howard.

The house is now owned by English Heritage, which acquired it in 1986. The house along with its extensive grounds are known as Marble Hill Park and provide many modern facilities including a cricket pitch and nets, tennis courts, putting green and a children's play area.
