Our Favourite Parks and Green Spaces in London
We are proud to have property developments all across London, from popular boroughs in central London to charming towns near the outer sides of the city.
We're quite familiar with the local areas of each of our developments, including the gorgeous green areas on offer nearby which residents and local communities alike can enjoy. Here's a quick rundown of just some of our favourite green spaces and parks near Berkeley Group developments in London.
King's Road Park
The Development
Just 60 metres from the iconic location of King's Road in Fulham, our King's Road Park aims to forge a new, sustainable neighbourhood situated within a beautiful park teeming with lush foliage and floral arrangements.
King's Road Park forms the last large-scale project to be started within the Fulham Riverside Regeneration Area, which seeks to restore two Grade II listed buildings to their former glory complete with a new public square and local amenities.
The Green Spaces
You'll find the expertly landscaped courtyard garden between The Beaumont and The Windsor, designed by Gillespies to bring the development to life through bursts of vibrant colour and fascinating features for the people who call King's Road Park home.
The garden can be enjoyed either up close and personal through the various walkways which wind through the flowers and foliage, or from the comfort of the balconies up above the garden so you can get a gorgeous view out over the whole space. There's even a formal lawn where you can set yourself down in the garden and take in the atmosphere on sunny afternoons.
Outside of the development, you'll find the historic Eel Brook Common close by which is one of the handiest little parks in Fulham, nestled within the hustle and bustle of the borough and easily accessible from the Fulham Broadway tube station.
A bit further down the road is Parsons Green, a conservation area within central London and sports a typical English village green at the centre which once served as a country retreat for those seeking respite from the city.
Finally, although it isn't a green space which is usable by the public, Stamford Bridge is right around the corner where you can catch Chelsea playing on the carefully manicured pitch against other premier league clubs.
Chiswick Gate
The Development
Inspired by the timeless quality of London's residential squares, Chiswick Gate blends contemporary features with classically refined taste to create a tranquil, modern development located in a desirable West London setting.
With only 4 homes remaining, now's the last chance to buy at Chiswick Gate with the most recent release of Concord Court, a group of individually designed 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments ready to move into this year and finished to the highest standards, each featuring its own terrace which overlooks The Orchard - one of the fantastic communal gardens within the development.
The Green Spaces
Between the residential buildings, you'll find The Orchard, The Parterre and The Boulevard - three communal courtyards designed by Macfarlane and Associates which condense all the charm of a full-scale formal English gardens into compact residential squares.
They make full use of the available space between each of the buildings within Chiswick Gate with tree-lined pathways, lush grass verges and a water feature specific to The Parterre which spans practically the length of the courtyard.
Just over the road, you'll find the idyllic Chiswick House and Gardens which is one of the primary draws for residents and visitors alike. The Palladian villa which sits at the centre of the gorgeous curated gardens was designed by the third Early of Burlington, drawing inspiration from his Grand Tour of Italy.
The gardens themselves recently underwent a major restoration projected which carefully repaired the statues and buildings dotted throughout the gardens, as well as uncovering the original vistas.
To the south of Chiswick House, you'll also see Dukes Meadows which is another of our favourite parks in the area, providing ample amount of green space to use for activities or gatherings with friends. There's also the Dukes Meadows Golf, Tennis & Ski club which lets you pay and play with no membership, perfect for trying something new or picking up as your new local sports club.
Sovereign Court
The Development
Based over in Hammersmith, Sovereign Court sets a standard for contemporary living in London with a range of expertly designe 3 bedroom apartments and villas. Not only is each aspect of the interior carefully crafted to complement London living, but the exterior features also help set it apart from other property developments in the area.
With Hammersmith's bustling town centre just a short distance away, residents can take advantage of how well-connected the area is with the rest of London as well as all of the local amenities.
The Green Spaces
Sovereign Court features three separate landscaped courtyard gardens which provide residents with private outdoor areas, acting as green oases away from the bustle of Hammersmith if they need a break and a calmer atmosphere.
Living in Hammersmith also means that you have some truly amazing green spaces right on your doorstep, meaning you're never too far from a park or pitch for your morning run or afternoon walk.
The largest and most recognisable green space within Hammersmith is Ravenscourt Park, packed with pitches and courts so you can enjoy your favourite activities like tennis, basketball and more. You'll also find a walled garden if you fancy delving into a floral escape, as well as two independent cafes situated within the park for convenient refreshments.
Brook Green is just to the north of the centre of Hammersmith, giving you an alternative to Ravenscourt Park if you don't want to walk as far to escape to an open green space. Furnivall Gardens is another option to the south which can be particularly appealing if you want to get closer to the Thames and enjoy watching the waters flow by.
White City Living
The Development
Over in Shepherd's Bush, you'll find White City Living to the north along Wood Lane, with two separate tube stations right on its doorstep and the Shepherd's Bush station around a 5 minute walk away.
This makes life at White City Living especially convenient with many key London locations within easy reach, as well as outstanding facilities on site like an indoor pool, full gym and even cinemas - all of which is situated within eight acres of gorgeous parks and gardens.
The Green Space
White City Livings offers life by the water's edge as the development plays host to a series of gorgeous water gardens, with walkways running over the tranquil waters and water features running between the buildings. You'll find a number of different themed water gardens on the east side of the development, each utilising a blend of water features and green areas to create a truly unique residential setting within Shepherd's Bush.
Residents of White City Living can also utilise the fantastic green spaces close at hand over in Kensington, with Holland Park and Kensington Gardens being two of the key highlights in the area.
Holland Park is right around the corner and can be easily reached using the services from White City Station, putting you right at the northern-most edge of the park. Here you can take in the Japanese-inspired gardens or take part in a range of sporting activities at the tennis courts or football pitches. You'll also find an adventure playground that's perfect for young children if you need somewhere local to keep the kids entertained.
Kensington Gardens is a few more tube stops along, but gives you a much bigger green space to play with and is home to the delightful Kensington Palace. Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park make up one of the most iconic green spaces the capital has to offer, and making White City Living your home means you're never too far away on a sunny day to nip across and enjoy a day in the park.
We want our residents to enjoy living within Berkeley Group properties as much as possible, and we understand that having a green space or park close by is a particularly attractive feature to have. Discover more of our property developments in London.
