Walpole Park

---

When the Soane family lived at Pitzhanger Manor, Walpole park was there 28-acre estate. They held many social events which included dinners, strolls on the grounds, evening parties and ‘dejeune à la fourchette’ luncheons, which often attracted one to two hundred guests. These entertainments were considered exceptionally grand for the time.

Whilst renovating Pitzhanger Manor, Sir John Soane created ‘roman ruins’ inspired by Greek and Roman architecture. Although these ruins are no longer visible, they were once a great source of amusement for guests and visitors to the Ealing Fair on the green in front of the Manor🌳.

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 🏰.
