Strawberry Hill House
United Kingdom / Twickenham, England
Location ID: #10231696
Strawberry Hill House was created by Horace Walpole in the 18th Century. This extraordinary building is internationally famous as Britain’s finest example of Georgian Gothic revival architecture. Restored and re-opened in 2010, the house is magically lit by a unique collection of Renaissance painted glass. Its castle-like hall and grey Gothic staircase lead dramatically to the magnificence of the gallery and state apartment with lavish gilding and crimson silk walls. With winding halls and ornate gilding, Strawberry Hill house has an air of mystery and glamour and offers a varied site for professional filming.
