Walpole Park

Walpole Park is a Grade II listed park in Ealing featuring ornamental gardens, two ponds, tree-lined pathways, and open lawns for recreation. The space combines different zones with varied landscapes that invite walking, sitting, and enjoying outdoor leisure time.

Sir John Soane acquired the estate in 1800 and redesigned it with a landscape gardener, before Ealing Council took ownership in 1899. The shift from private property to public park marked a major turning point in the location's history.

The park is home to Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery, which sits within the green space and functions as an art venue and cultural meeting point for the community. The building and its grounds create a focal point where people gather for exhibitions and events throughout the year.

The park is open daily with multiple entry points and is easily reachable by public transport from nearby stations. The pathways are wide and comfortable for visitors of all ages and mobility levels to navigate through the grounds.

Along the northern boundary runs a striking red-brick wall dating from the late 18th century that marks the park's edge at Mattock Lane. This structure is a visible remnant from when the site was privately owned and shows how the landscape has been preserved.
