Ever wondered how Walpole Park in Ealing got its name? 🌳 Once Sir John Soane`s private garden at Pitzhanger Manor, it transformed over the years, changing hands until Sir Spencer Walpole sold it to the Urban District Council of Ealing. There is a plaque next to Pitzhanger commemorating this purchase!

Now, as a beloved public park since 1901, it combines Soane`s legacy with Ealing`s community spirit. 🏛️💚 Step back in time and explore the rich history and tranquil beauty of Walpole Park and Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery. Come and discover a slice of local history!

Come and explore Walpole Park 🌳 – the heart of the Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery experience! Back in the day, this 28-acre estate was brought to life by Sir John Soane and John Haverfield, son of a famous landscape designer at Kew 🌱. They created a stunning garden and a curvy lake, surrounded by tall cedar trees and a quirky old bridge decorated with classic urns 🏞️. It`s the perfect spot for some downtime!

1900 the park became a public space when Sir Spencer Walpole sold it to Ealing District Council. It`s a natural extension of the Pitzhanger Manor`s historical charm 🏰.

Got any plans this weekend or on Bank Holiday Monday? Why not join us? 😊 Bask in the summer sun and soak up the vibes – just as Sir John Soane did back in his time ☀️🍃.
