About Fenton House and Garden
This tranquil 17th-century house is a hidden gem in London, a place of unique charm and ambience.
Lady Binning bought the house in 1936 and filled it with her highly decorative collections of porcelain, Georgian furniture and 17th-century needlework. The sound of early keyboard instruments and vibrant early-20th-century drawings and paintings add to a captivating experience.
The ever-changing horticultural gem that is the walled garden includes an orchard, kitchen garden, rose garden, terraces and lawns.
