  • Geoff Chadwick

Know very little about Hogarth,so we went along to his house and really enjoyed it. If you have an hour or so it's well worth your time. Park just down the road and walk back. Chiswick House and grounds is near,so you can combine the two. Hogarths House is free to enter. Toilets on site. More

  • Peter Swales

Very close to Chiswick House, this is worth a visit. Of course, you can view Hogarth in many London galleries, but it`s quite special to see it displayed in his family`s summer retreat. The irony of a satirical artist working next door to an influential aristocracy, raises a smile!

  • Mathieu CARPENTIER

Fantastic visit on the way to Chiswick House. The house itself is fairly interesting and the garden very pleasant but the exhibition of Hogarth's work is phenomenal, a fantastic chronicler of the XVIII century England. And it's all free! Well recommended. More

  • Sue Merrick

Amazing to be able to walk around Hogarth's House for free. It's a lovely old building which has been well maintained. There are a lot of Hogarth's prints to see. You can easily spend an hour or two if you want to have a good look at his works.

  • Jessica Sinclair

A well hidden treasure and a snippet of history. Well worth a visit. Staff are friendly and informative. It is not very big so will not take long to go around it. The house is hidden from view of the road by a high wall. Entrance is free!

  • Angela Bird

We hugely enjoyed our visit to this charming house, miraculously preserved on the edge of the busy A4. On a rainy Tuesday afternoon, we were alone to stroll through the cosy rooms and study the detail of the many engravings on our own.

  • Robin Irwin

This is a little gem of a museum is highly recommended when visiting London. You need to figure out how to cross the busy highway to get to the house as Google maps isn't that helpful but once you get there, your journey into history

  • Esther L

Relatively quiet tourist attraction but definitely good to have another look at London from an artist of the time, you really see how the UK society and culture was like back in the days, instead of just by historians in textbooks.

  • Katie Tu

Small house with three rooms upstairs; admission is free; many of his famous engravings are recreated and you get background on his family / his wife’s family and the families of surrounding area of Chiswick

  • Craig Pickering

Great place for lovers of Hogarth's work. All the classics are here Currently there's also a very good little exhibition of Paula Rego, who's a fan. I loved her wine labels and nursery rhyme pictures.

  • Malcolm Vernon

Hogarth's story, and key artworks, laid out sympathetically in his old out-of-town house. Lots of biographical detail and artefacts flesh out your visit to what is in reality a small cottage. More

  • Deborah Vella

Really interesting visit. Not a big house but we'll set out and fabulous to see Hogarths artwork so well displayed. Very informative, makes a change from stately homes and free to visit. More

  • Steve Haskett

Fascinating to visit the house William Hogarth lived in in Chiswick. Carefully restored and free entry. Parking available in the Chiswick House parking lot just a few minutes walk away. More

  • Roger Dean

Very interesting exhibition and learned a lot from it. The volunteers were very friendly and helpful too. However, our day was a bit marred by the less than user-friendly car park for

  • Ruth Hardy

Very good place to visit Good history of Hogarth and his life in the house. Garden needs attention. Welcoming staff. Visit St Nicholas Church 3 minutes walk to see Hogarths grave.

  • Johnniewon

Unassuming place. Free entry. Puts together Hogarth's etchings and prints and gives them context. The moralising reflects the period they were made but also are relevant today.

  • nicola evans

Delightful small museum ,friendly welcome from the lady at the door. Beautiful little garden. You can't believe how this area must have been when it was countryside .

  • Liam B

The grounds are beautiful, but unfortunately we were banned from visiting because Hogarth’s House refuses to welcome any visitors on bicycles.

  • Michael Richings

Bit small Just sketches The paintings are in the Sir John Soane Museum Lincoln's Inn Fields but it is free The car park is a little way away
