We have developed a tour of the park for English learners to highlight some of the stories we found most interesting and to give you a taster of Gunnersbury’s history.
This leaflet is accompanied by a podwalk available to download as an mp3 from www.ealing.gov.uk/gunnersbury/walks.
The name Gunnersbury may have come from Gunylda, the niece of King Canute. King Canute was the King of Denmark, England, Norway and part of Sweden. Gunylda lived in Gunnersbury until she was sent away from England in 1044 when the Normans took over the country.
