Alexander Pope's Grotto, Radnor House School

Alexander Pope's Grotto, Radnor House School, Cross Deep, Twickenham, Middlesex TW1 4QG

Alexander Pope's Grotto is the last remaining part of Alexander Pope's villa. The tunnel connecting the villa to Pope's gardens was first decorated with bright stones as a 'Nymphaeum', but Pope's interests increasingly turned to raw nature. A programme of repairs is ongoing, led by the Pope's Grotto Preservation Trust. The grotto lies under Radnor House School, and a cafe and river terrace are available for visitors.

Opening Arrangements

The Grotto will be open twice a month from February to December between 10am and 1pm. On the third Sunday in every month from May to November it will open with its partner organization Strawberry Hill House for Landscape Tours. Some private openings for educational purposes can be made by arrangement . All details of public openings are on the website.
