Chiswick Park

Chiswick Park station is a District line stop in Zone 3 between Turnham Green and Acton Town, serving the Gunnersbury and South Acton areas. The station's main draw is Gunnersbury Park, immediately to the north - a large public park occupying the former Rothschild estate, with two mansion houses (one of which contains the Gunnersbury Museum), ornamental gardens, sports facilities and a boating lake. The park has been substantially refurbished in recent years and is well worth a visit. The surrounding area is primarily residential Chiswick, giving access to one of west London's better neighbourhood atmospheres.
