Entrance arch and screen, Syon Park
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.

Arch and Lion, Syon Park
This shows a detail of the gateway seen in Image The lion is a heraldic device of the Dukes of Northumberland. This one has a remarkable tail - my guess is that the lion was cast in metal, and that the tail was a bit of showing-off on the part of the craftsman who made it.
Another lion appears above the river frontage of Syon House: Image

Entrance arch & screen, Syon Park - with the Northumberland Lion
This must once have been the grand gateway to Syon Park, seat of the Dukes of Northumberland. Despite all that has been done since the 1970's to put the Park on a commercial footing, this entrance - seldom used - has a neglected air about it.
My ancient copy of Pevsner for the old county of Middlesex attributes the design to Robert Adam. Pevsner also mentions that Horace Walpole did not approve - but then he wouldn't; the house he was building at Strawberry Hill was inspired by the Gothic, not the classical.
