Wormholt Park

Wormholt Park is a public park in Hammersmith and Fulham featuring open grasslands, cultivated flower beds, and designated wildflower zones across its grounds. Various sports courts and play areas are distributed throughout the space to serve different visitor interests and age groups.

The park opened in 1911 when ecclesiastical authorities sold portions of the original Wormholt Farm for public development. During World War II, the grounds were converted into air raid shelters and vegetable gardens, a wartime transformation that persisted until the early 1950s.

The park serves as a gathering place where residents participate in nature walks and environmental activities throughout the year. It functions as a community hub where people of different ages and interests come together for shared outdoor experiences.

The park features wheelchair-accessible play equipment and pathways throughout, making it easy to navigate for people with mobility needs. Visitors can move freely between different zones to explore sports areas, gardens, and open grass spaces without significant barriers.

The grounds served as a vital refuge for residents during wartime, leaving a lasting mark on local memory and identity. The transformation from farmland through shelters to recreation space reflects the neighborhood's resilience across different historical periods.
