Polesden Lacey


Regency country house with renowned Edwardian interiors and gardens, set in beautiful downland countryside
  • Home of legendary Edwardian hostess the Hon. Mrs Greville
  • King George VI and the Queen Mother honeymooned here
  • Opulent Edwardian interior with fine collection of 'Old Masters' paintings
  • Variety of walks in elegant gardens and landscaped park
  • Sweeping valley views across the North Downs
  • A tranquil oasis only 22 miles from London
This Regency house is in an exceptional setting on the Surrey Hills and enjoys stunning views. The house was remodelled in 1906-09 by the Hon. Mrs Ronald Greville, a well-known Edwardian hostess. Her collections of fine paintings, furniture, porcelain and silver are displayed in the reception rooms and galleries, as they were at the time of her celebrated house parties. There are also extensive grounds, a beautiful walled rose garden, lawns and landscape walks for visitors to enjoy. Once the home of poet and playwright Richard Brinsley Sheridan, Polesden Lacey was the venue for the honeymoon of the future King George VI and Queen Elizabeth in 1923.
