Lovely gardens and house. Still in use by members of parliament. Plenty to see in the fairly well kept gardens and house. Only downstairs is open to the public as upstairs is still mostly in use.
A very nice and interesting place to visit.
National Trust states that booking the visit is essential, but we are local and last July decided to take the risk and visit the house without booking as it is only 5 minutes driving from us.
As NT members, we were welcome and allowed to enter without any problems and queues.
The house is full of historical artifacts, the guides were quite helpful explaining the history of them. The pictures on the walls worth special attention, some of them are quite amazing opening the window to 18th century London at night.
Interesting to look round the gardens here, both formal and informal. No photography allowed, not a problem, but almost no plant labels so if you spot something you don't know you have to sketch or remember it to investigate further.
Nicely laid out gardens interesting house and home made cakes! Short drive out of London.
Good to see a normal home used as a seat of government
