Chiswick Park was a newly-coined name for the underground station which is now also the name of a building dedicated to local business.

Chiswick Park station was opened on 1 July 1879 by the District Railway on its extension from Turnham Green to Ealing Broadway. The station was originally called Acton Green after the adjacent Acton Green Common. It was renamed to Chiswick Park and Acton Green in 1887. Following the electrification of the tracks, the station was given its present name in 1910.

The station is located on the site of the Battle of Turnham Green (1642) during the First English Civil War.

Between 1931 and 1932 the station was rebuilt in preparation for the western extension of the Piccadilly line from Hammersmith although the Piccadilly line has never served the station.

The new station was designed by Charles Holden using brick, reinforced concrete and glass. Holden’s design was inspired by Alfred Grenander’s Krumme Lanke underground station in Berlin. Chiswick Park station features a tall semi-circular ticket hall adjacent to the embankment carrying the tracks. To make the station’s location visible from Chiswick High Road the station was also provided with a square brick tower. The station is now Grade II listed.

Chiswick Park, the industrial zone, was designed in the 1990s by the Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners.
