Osterley Park was completed in 1576 by Sir Thomas Gresham, commercial agent and financial adviser to Elizabeth I. The house was acquired by Sir Francis Child in 1713, a self-made man who rose from an apprentice to owner of a firm of goldsmiths.
Two generations later this wealthy banking family commissioned the fashionable architect Robert Adam to transform the existing Tudor mansion into 'the palace of palaces'. The stunning interiors are one of the most complete surviving examples of his craft, with beautiful plasterwork and exquisite furniture.
The opulent rooms work particularly well for a drinks reception in the Entrance Hall followed by dinner in the Long Gallery. Equally, the combined use of the rooms offers a spectacular backdrop for larger drinks receptions. Alternatively a marquee site overlooking the house is available for larger functions.
