Lampton Park — Attraction in London

No problems just alot of building work going on there. Actually council using every little space they can find to build more and more flats. It's ridiculous. Feel so costraphobic everywhere as it is. Now they taking park space. Everywhere I go where I grew up is just getting so overcrowded. Multi cultured. Lol. Would you see that in Wimbledon?. He'll no. A place close to 2nd largest airport Heathrow. Obviously will have pollution with planes etc. But how about people's 1st look to the country as holiday makers. Forget them. What about the British people who grew up here and now have to go through so much overcrowded darkness. No sunlight coming through in places and a place that should have the least population so people can travel between airport and London without ridiculous traffic. Also the fact that they are even using space that was a driveway to build few more flats there. No windows in bathrooms costraphobic flats. Not to mention delivery drivers that have problems. Due to no structure. Also why where multi nationals live?. Spread them out for goodness sake. Why none of this happenning in other area?s. They are making in other areas, but limited with top designs (council/housing associations). I was born and grew up in my area. But it no longer looks like my childhood place nomore. Too overcrowded, tight and just no space. Also pathetic traffic and some funny families. Should not be the case. Especially as 1st impressions for 1st timers visiting country. Especially between Heathrow and London. But still it happening because government don't see it that way. They seeing immigrants and are squashing them like a shanty town. Who cares what they like or don't. Government says secretly. Would you see this type of infrastructure in Essex. Never. They build there and Sussex. But you will not see ugly looking pathetic structure cheap design flats there. They won't worry about saving space and having no windows in there kitchens and bathrooms. It getting bad. Can't help but to...

Near the Hounslow Central tube Station, it's a wide, quite big park with many species of trees and lots of squirrels. One will always like seeing the busy squirrels finding their food in and around bushes. It is a very good place for morning walk, evening stroll, jog, cycling or even football. The circular pathway covers almost a kilometer. Quite a few benches are there if you feel tired. Even you can take rest just on the grass. It has a nice, big enclosed area for tennis practice with around 8 nets inside. During the summer, it is very pleasant to see people at various ages practising lawn tennis in pairs. One can try for one to one coaching as well. And last but not the least, it has a children play area as well with lots of equipments, activities. Though I always love to go to the park at least once a day, I think they are missing 2 common things in the park - 1. a common gym that most of the medium and large size parks have nowadays and 2. A cricket pitch. There is a pitch in the Lampton school ground area but unofficially local residents play there during summer evenings. The park would have been complete if these 2 were there. Otherwise, it's absolutely a place to relax for the...

About Lampton Park Lampton Park has two main areas, its playing fields to the north and the more formal park to the south, laid out with winding paths, flowers, grass and trees for you to enjoy.

When walking to the western entrance, you’ll come across Harte Road, a gorgeous pedestrianised street that is maintained for nature conservation. Lampton Park opened in 1930 and in 1951 a Sarsen Stone, which had been unearthed from a pit at the Hounslow Sand and Gravel Co. works at Heston in 1926, was set up in the park.

Walk through Lampton Park’s large areas of amenity grassland crossed by formal pathways with a mix of beautiful mature trees. Bring the kids to the substantial playground providing for all ages or take advantage of the hard-standing tennis courts. Admire the formal flower and shrub beds and small pond. The park really delivers for local biodiversity with a nature area, planted native woodlands and a wildflower meadow, a wonderful calm oasis to explore or to have a picnic.

Facilities: playground, tennis courts, nature area, flower beds, rose garden, memorial garden, pond and orchard. in...
