Little Wormwood Scrubs

Little Wormwood Scrubs is a public park with open grassland, scattered trees, play areas for children, and managed gardens in North Kensington. The grounds offer different spaces for walking, playing, and spending time outdoors.

The land was acquired by the Metropolitan Board of Works in the 1880s and transformed from farmland into a public recreation space. This conversion provided a green space for the expanding urban population of the time.

The park serves as a gathering place where neighbors spend time together and participate in events throughout the year. Visitors find families and groups using the open space for community activities and outdoor socializing.

The park is open daily from early morning until dusk and is easily accessible by White City tube station and local bus routes. Visitors should note the space is quite open and exposed, so appropriate clothing for windy weather is wise.

The park has been planted in recent years with wildflower meadows and heritage fruit trees to support pollinators like bees. These efforts are part of a broader network to improve habitats across the wider area.
