View Larger MapDescription of institution: Turnham Green is a public park on Chiswick High Road, Chiswick, London, and the neighbourhood and conservation area around it; historically, it was one of the four medieval villages in the Chiswick area, the others being Old Chiswick, Little Sutton, and Strand-on-the-Green. Christ Church, a neo-Gothic building designed by George Gilbert Scott and built in 1843,[2] stands on the eastern half of the green. A war memorial stands on the eastern corner. On the south side is the old Chiswick Town Hall.
The green is the site of local community events, including a travelling funfair, church events and charity table-top sales.
The nearest London Underground station is Chiswick Park on the District line.
Turnham Green tube station is actually on Chiswick Common, some 1 km (0.6 mi) to the east, on a street named Turnham Green Terrace which does not touch the park it is named after. Other Links: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turnham_Green -
