Facts and practical information

Walpole Park is a 28 acres Grade II municipal park, situated in Ealing. Currently governed by Ealing Council, it was initially the grounds of Pitzhanger Manor, the early 19th-century country home of Sir John Soane. It was acquired by Ealing Council in 1899 and opened to the public for the first time on 1 May 1901. Within its boundaries are additional statutory protected structures: Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery and Lodge. Other attractions featured in its grounds include the late Victorian ornamental Serpentine Lake, bordering the House's rear lawn, and a pond further west with a pair of fountains – both of which attract waterfowl.
