Ham house and Garden

Originally built in 1610, Ham House is one of the great Stuart houses situated only 10 miles from central London on the rural banks of the river Thames.

Ham House is internationally recognised for its superb collection of paintings, furniture and textiles, largely acquired 400 years ago.  Outside, the open and formal restored 17th-century gardens surround the house. It includes a productive kitchen garden containing many heritage crops, the maze-like ‘Wilderness’, complete with summerhouses, and many beautiful spots perfect for a picnic. If you don't fancy a picnic, you can grab a bite to eat at The Orangery café, it is set in the kitchen garden and serves light lunches and teas. The cafe has a family friendly atmosphere and free WIFI.

There is a little shop housed in one of the 17th Century outbuilding selling gifts, tasty treats & childrens toys. 

Dogs & their well behaved humans are welcome all year round. Dogs must be kept on a short lead but they are welcome in the Gardens, Cafe and shop. short leads and spare poop bags are available at visitor reception if you require them.
