College Park & Old Oak
Hammersmith and Fulham, London
College Park and Old Oak sits at the far north-west of Hammersmith and Fulham, a ward shaped by two large institutional presences: the 67.7-hectare Wormwood Scrubs common, and HMP Wormwood Scrubs itself, built by Edmund Du Cane between 1874 and 1891. The whole ward lies in a conservation area and 15 listed buildings include the Grade II* Chapel and Grade II* Gatehouse of the prison, plus the Grade II* Campbell Family Mausoleum. Green space is generous at over 96 hectares, air quality is relatively good for inner London, and 27 outstanding schools sit within reach. The trade-offs are substantial: the safety score is low, nightlife is minimal, the market has slipped, and the area's long-promised Old Oak Common HS2 interchange has held back local planning decisions for years.
