Find stays near Marble Hill House on the map ↓Marble Hill is a free Georgian house and Thames-side park, with rooms telling Henrietta Howard’s story and grounds open more often than the interiors. Twickenham keeps the stay on the same side of the river; Richmond offers a wider town and rail base. Plan the house on an open day, then use the riverside park as a distinct part of the visit.

Before you choose: The riverside inn is not at the park gate; plan the walk.
