Bedford Park

The developer Jonathan Carr began the estate in 1875 on 24 acres (9.7 ha) north of Turnham Green station. Its houses are by Richard Norman Shaw, E. W. Godwin, E. J. May, Henry Wilson and Maurice Bingham Adams, in red brick Queen Anne Revival with tile-hung walls, varied gables and white-painted balustrades. The Tabard, the estate's inn, and the church of St Michael and All Angels were both listed Grade II* on 11 July 1951, as list entries 1079594 and 1079622, and the Bedford Park War Memorial on the same green is Grade II, NHLE 1422868, listed 7 January 2015. The suburb is split between two conservation areas, a larger one in Ealing and a smaller one in Hounslow, and Hounslow applies Article 4 directions to its Gunnersbury and Bedford Park conservation areas, so works normally allowed as permitted development need consent. W. B. Yeats, the actor William Terriss, the actress Florence Farr, the playwright Arthur Wing Pinero and the painter Camille Pissarro all lived on the estate in the 1880s. Turnham Green Underground station, around which the estate was laid out, takes the District line all day and the Piccadilly line early and late; Stamford Brook, on the District line, is the next stop east and sits on the borough boundary.
