East Sheen Common, Public park in East Sheen, London, United Kingdom.
East Sheen Common is a public park with woodland areas, sports fields, and recreational facilities adjacent to Richmond Park. The space contains distinct zones for play, training, and walking, all easily reached from southwest London.
The land was originally part of communal grounds before Richmond Park was established, and the National Trust took ownership in 1908. This transfer marked a turning point for how the site would be preserved and used by the public.
Cricket matches between Sheen Park Cricket Club and Ibstock Place School happen regularly on the field during the season. The sport connects different parts of the community and gives the space a gathering purpose.
You can reach the park easily by train from North Sheen station or by buses 485, 33, and 337, giving you several arrival options. Access is open year-round, so you can visit anytime to explore the different areas at your own pace.
A brick wall divides this park from Richmond Park, yet Bog Gate allows pedestrians to cross directly between the two green spaces. This quiet passage lets visitors move seamlessly between the two landscapes without retracing their steps.
