Скачать или смотреть Syon Park - West London

A beautiful house and landscaped 200 acres park [formerly Syon Abbey] a few miles west of central London and still the ancestral home of the Duke of Northumberland. Grounds contain a Wyevale garden centre and retile house [formerly the butterfly house] - all well worth a visit across Thames from Kew Gardens. You can hear the famous north Surrey parakeets whose ancestors escaped from [Shepperton Studios?] film set a few decades ago. The park under the flight path to London Heathrow Airport and noise suppressed in some scenes!

The expression "a dog's breakfast" may have originated here - the bloated corpse of Henry VIII was brought here on his death in1547 enroute for burial at Windsor Castle and blood seeping from his coffin was reputedly licked by dogs the following morning - ugh!
