London, day 3, July 24th ~ Hogarth's House

I left Chiswick House and Gardens behind and made my way back to the underground station. As i had planned earlier that day, i paid a visit to Hogarth's House which lies at Hogarth lane. 

The house was built between 1713 and 1717 and was bought by the Hogarth's in 1749. They used it as a country refuge. Today it is really hard to imagine it as a rural area as now the A4 runs by with 3 lanes on each side. But in the 18th century it still was a village and the house was built in the corner of an orchard. Thankfully even today there is still a little garden adjacent to the house.
