Gunnersbury Park is a park between Acton, Brentford, Chiswick and Ealing. Purchased for the nation from the Rothschild family, it was opened to the public by Neville Chamberlain, then Minister of Health, on 21 May 1926. Currently (2025) jointly managed by Hounslow and Ealing borough councils. The first Gunnersbury House, built on the estate in 1663, was demolished in 1801 and the estate split in two, each with its own mansion. In 1889 the Rothschilds reunited the two parts, extended the estate further, to the west and the north and sold it jointly to Ealing and Acton.
