Brentford - Syon House and Conservatory 
|
|
Syon House was originally a monastery which was founded in the 15th C by Henry V. In the 16th C the estate was converted into a nobleman's house which gradually became one of the architectural jewels on the periphery of London, especially from the point of view of its interior architecture. The interior of Syon House was redesigned in the 18th C by the famous architect Robert Adam.
