Roads around Osterley
The A4 Great West Road splits Osterley in two, and crossing it can take time at peak hours. Drivers pick the side of the road that suits your destination: south towards Isleworth and Twickenham, or north and east towards Brentford and central London. Jersey Road and Thornbury Road are the main local links to the park and the tube station.
Osterley station sits right on the Great West Road, and stopping directly outside is not always possible. We agree a safe nearby meeting point when you book, so you are not left standing by a busy main road.

Visitors to Osterley House often combine a trip with Syon Park or Kew Gardens nearby. We can plan a short tour with drop-offs and pick-ups at each, with timings to suit your day.
