Afterwards we will head off to a large pub a short ten minute walk past Acton Town Station, for drinks and a bite to eat (optional).

Gunnersbury Park is a large leafy park set between Brentford and Acton. It has formal gardens, green open spaces, lakes, historic buildings, a museum,and a network of tree lined paths. When visiting Gunnersbury Park Estate you can still see buildings and gardens that date from the time when it was a grand estate owned by Princess Amelia and the Rothschilds. Look across the Round Pond to the 18th century, classical Temple. When visiting the museum look up at the ornate painted ceilings of the Rothshilds, 'Large Mansion'.

The Museum: The large mansion in Gunnersbury Park is a historic (Grade ll* listed) Regency house which once belonged to the Rothschild family. It still retains a suite of grand reception rooms and magnificent original Victorian kitchens. Since 1929 the large mansion has also been the home to Gunnersbury Park Museum
