Hammersmiths’ largest green space is fun for the whole family
Considered to be one of the borough’s flagship parks, Ravenscourt is worth a visit if you get a coach to London. Across 13 hectares of greenspace, the park is popular with local residents and visitors alike thanks to its range of wildlife habitats and number of child-friendly facilities. It’s well-worth a look!

What’s it all about?
Originally, Ravenscourt Park was the site of a medieval manor house. In the 19th Century, Ravenscourt Park House was constructed before the private owner sold it to the City and the grounds we see today were constructed around Ravenscourt Park House. Unfortunately, the house itself was destroyed during the 1941 during the Blitz.
Today, the park is a popular tourist attraction with plenty of activity facilities and green space to explore.
