Chiswick house and gardens - photodiary and OOTD

This year, I'm determined to make the most of living in London, and seeing as the weather was so nice earlier this month, we decided to go for a wonder around the beautiful Chiswick house and gardens in West London:

When I was little, we used to live next to a park, and since then I've always enjoyed wondering around and taking photos. These days I'm lucky enough to live near Hyde Park, but on a hot summer's day, it soon gets very busy and sometimes it's nice to leave the hustle and bustle of Central London. 

With it's combination of neo-Palladian buildings, hidden pathways and colourful flower beds, Chiswick house and gardens was so much fun to explore and on a warm sunny day the perfect place to enjoy a picnic too. If you ever get the chance to, then it's well worth the hour long trip to West London.

In fact, did you know Chiswick house was the birthplace of the English landscape movement, and it's since gone on to inspire countless gardens, including the world famous Central Park in New York!
