About Syon Park

Syon Park is the London estate of the Duke of Northumberland, with ceremonies in Robert Adam's rooms at Syon House and evening receptions in the Grade I Great Conservatory.

Syon Park is the London home of the Duke of Northumberland, held by the Percy family since 1594. It stands in Brentford behind its own parkland, opposite Kew Gardens on the Thames, and weddings are held across two Grade I listed settings: Syon House, with interiors by Robert Adam, and the Great Conservatory, a cast-iron and Bath stone glasshouse raised around 1827. Around them lie 200 acres of parkland laid out by Capability Brown.

Ceremonies take place in the Great Hall, which holds up to 154, or in the State Dining Room, which holds up to 50. Evening receptions move to the Great Conservatory, where 160 guests can sit or 200 can stand, from April to September. Drinks are served in the Inner Courtyard and dancing takes place in the Colonnade, while the Long Gallery is kept for photographs. Catering is handled by the estate's approved suppliers, and the Hotspur Wing offers private rooms within the house. Heathrow and central London are each about twenty minutes away.

A ducal seat in London

The Percy family have held Syon since 1594, and it remains the London home of the Duke of Northumberland. The ground is older still: a Bridgettine abbey stood here first, its foundation stone laid by Henry V in 1415.

Vows in Robert Adam's rooms

The Great Hall is a double cube of cool stone with Doric columns, a black and white marble floor and antique statues in its niches. The State Dining Room, with its Corinthian columns and marble figures of Ceres and Bacchus, suits smaller ceremonies of up to 50.

An evening under glass

Charles Fowler raised the Great Conservatory around 1827, a cast-iron frame faced in Bath stone with a domed centre and two glazed wings. It seats 160 or holds 200 standing, and by evening the glass fills with candlelight.

Parkland by the Thames

Two hundred acres of parkland laid out by Capability Brown run down to the river opposite Kew Gardens. Syon Woods Lawn, four open acres, offers a marquee option in the grounds.

The Hotspur Wing

The Sitting Room

Hotspur Wing

The Hotspur Wing is a private range of rooms within Syon House itself, with its own sitting room where the party gathers before and after the day, so the celebration can begin and end on the estate rather than across London hotels.

Location

London

Syon Park sits in Brentford in west London, screened by its own parkland yet genuinely of the city. Kew Gardens is directly across the Thames, Heathrow is about twenty minutes west and central London roughly the same to the east, with Syon Lane and Brentford rail stations close by. Guests can come for the evening and be home the same night, which for a venue of this grandeur is unusually easy.
