We look forward to welcoming you and sharing Turner's legacy, stories and history. We offer self led and guided tours, focussed talks and incredible stories from our team and volunteers to enhance your visit.
Book Tickets
We are open Wednesday to Sunday, from 12 to 4pm. PLEASE NOTE WE WILL BE CLOSED FOR THE INSTALLATION OF OUR EXHIBITION FROM 15TH – 23RD APRIL 2026.
We want visitors to enjoy fully the unique qualities of this small building and so we restrict the number of visitors at any one time. To help achieve this, we recommend booking your visit in advance.
We offer the following tours, subject to guide availability, which are included in the price of your ticket.
If you are able to consent to Gift Aid and are a UK taxpayer, we would be grateful if you would make a 10% donation on admission prices, as we can claim back 25% extra on the whole price of your ticket from the government. Donations such as this help us keep Turner’s House open for everyone. Turner’s House prefers pre-booked visits in advance but walk-in visits are available. Please check with the house first.
Our exhibition room is located on the top floor and can be reached by climbing about 18 steps. Unfortunately, due to the limitations of the historic house, no lift facilities are available. The ground floor and garden of the house is fully accessible, and a tablet device will be available for a virtual visit to the first floor and basement. We offer half-price tickets to people with mobility disabilities.
Audio descriptions and audio information on the artworks in the exhibition are available in the Situate app – find more information below, or ask our volunteers at the front desk.
Turner’s House offers private tours for up to 15 people, which last an hour. If you want to delve deeper into the history of the House and its restoration we also offer special ‘Connoisseur Tour’s which last for an hour and half.
We do not have a café at Turner’s House, however, there are many lovely cafes and restaurants are located on St Margarets Road, close to St Margarets train station. We kindly ask that you do not consume any food or drinks in the house, to protect our interiors.
Turner’s House Trust is an independent registered charity which relies on visitors admission, grants and donations to remain open at all. Click the link below to donate.

Turner's House is located at Sandycombe Lodge,
40 Sandycoombe Road,
St Margarets, Twickenham TW1 2LR.
We are easily accessible by train, bus or on foot.
We advise using journey planners to source the best route on your day of travel via public transport to allow for any unforeseeable transport changes. However, please see our brief guidance here.
As this is a residential area, we advise avoiding travel by car where possible. There is no parking on Sandycoombe Road or Turner’s House premises. Alternatively, volunteers and visitors can park in Marble Hill Car Park for £2.50 up to 2 hours.
Mainline & Overground/Underground (District Line) trains all run to Richmond station. The nearest train station is St Margarets, a short walk away.
From Richmond station, the H37 and 110 stop at Sandycoombe Road. Frequent services also run on the 33/490 /R70/R68 where you should alight at Marble Hill Park/Crown Rd stop. It is then a 3 minute walk.
From Richmond cross the bridge and walk on Richmond Rd, continuing on St Margarets Rd, for a half mile. You will find Sandycoombe Rd on the left. If you prefer a more panoramic walk (similar to Turner’s footsteps), take the riverside tow path after Richmond bridge which leads you into Marble Hill Park, cross the park towards the Richmond Road’s gate and you will find Sandycoombe Rd at the traffic lights across the road. It is then a 3 minute walk.
The Ground Floor of the house is fully accessible. An Ipad with the virtual tour of the First floor and basement can be given. Disabled visitors with a Blue Badge can park at the house, but the single place should be booked in advance by emailing info@turnershouse.org
