A royal hunting park of Henry VII
The estate was acquired in 1828 by Henry Perkins who built Hanworth Park House on part of the land. In 1917 it became a private aerodrome, later opening in 1929 as the London Air Park where a number of flying clubs were based, Hanworth Park House becoming the club house in 1935. In 1956 the grounds of Hanworth Park House and the airfield were purchased jointly by Middlesex County Council and Feltham UDC and the park opened to the public in 1959.
