This must once have been the grand gateway leading to Syon House from the London Road. Despite the many changes that have taken place in the Park in the last 40 years, it remains forlorn and neglected. In the Middlesex volume of 'The Buildings of England', Pevsner attributes the design to Robert Adam, who remodelled the house for the Duke of Northumberland, in the 1760's.
