Gunnersbury Park

Gunnersbury Park is near the Osborne Hotel (0.6 miles) and it has been designated Grade II on the English Heritage Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest so it is worth a vist during your stay at the Osborne Hotel. Gunnersbury Park was opened to the public on 21 May 1926 and is now jointly owned and run by Hounslow and Ealing councils.

Recognised by many as one of the most important parks in the country, Gunnersbury Park is around 186 acres of Grade II listed landscape of exceptional mature trees, open grass spaces and historic buildings.

There are two mansions at Gunnersbury Park, a round pond, cafe which is open all year, a mid-18th century Temple and Italian garden, a large children's play area and an 18 hole pitch and putt golf course open in the summer months. To the south of the park is the Potomac Lake with its woodland walks, bluebells in the spring and a hidden Gothic style boat house, perfectly for a walk whatever the season. The car park is accessed from Popes Lane with a bowling green nearby and a huge open field and pitches for football, cricket and rugby.

Gunnersbury Park Museum

Housed in a delightful Regency building (Gunnersbury Park House) surrounded by gardens, woodlands, lakes and sports grounds, Gunnersbury Park Museum displays the history of the whole of Ealing borough (also Hounslow) in a range of temporary exhibitions. Here you will find local archaeological finds, domestic equipment and costumes, the last hansom cab that worked in Ealing, as well as the Rothschild coaches and original Victorian kitchens.
