Ravenscourt Park

While it’s not the capital’s biggest or most well-known outdoor park, Ravenscourt Park has an immeasurable charm that is defined by users that come from far beyond West London to enjoy it.

The Monument

Monument was built to commemorate the Great Fire of London. It's a great place to be able to see London from different angles. The spiral staircase is great to climb up. At a certain point it gets more narrow and so, trickier to climb but once you hit the top and get past all the picture taking tourists – you can walk around and take in the sights. Read more ›

It's the oldest pub on the Thames; feels like you're stepping back in time 300 years, though clientele is mixed and lively. While you're there you can check out the Brunel museum across the road.
