Parking at the house is very limited and all surrounding roads have permit-controlled parking. If you do need to travel by car, the postcode TW1 4ST will take any satellite navigation system to the house. The car park closes at 5.30pm every day. We have several dedicated spaces for blue badge holders. Walking With the Thames Path only three minutes away from the house, a pleasant riverside walk can be combined with an afternoon visit to Walpole’s villa. It is the ideal way to understand the compelling 18th century views from the house, now obscured by modern development.

Although in Horace Walpole’s time Strawberry Hill was several hours journey from the centre of London by coach and horses, by 1873 Strawberry Hill railway station whisked Lady Waldegrave’s guests from Westminster to her political salons.
Today the house is even better connected, with bus, cycle, and walking routes for visitors direct to the front door.
