Osterley Park

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Osterley Park

House and 16-ha/40-acre estate in western Greater London, England, 5 km/3 mi northwest of Richmond; one of the last great houses with its estate intact in the London area. The house is Elizabethan, but was extensively remodelled into an 18th-century villa with neoclassical interiors by Robert Adam around 1760–80.

The interior includes the Etruscan Room and the sumptuous Tapestry Room, the latter hung with 18th-century Gobelins tapestries after designs by François Boucher (1769). Osterley Park was given to the National Trust in 1949 by the 9th Earl of Derby.
