Perivale Park Golf Club

About Perivale Park Golf Club

Perivale sits in the London Borough of Ealing, in the Brent valley in west London, an area that shifted from market gardening and orchards to suburban housing through the interwar decades of the twentieth century, much of it built along the new Piccadilly line extension and the Western Avenue. The valley here still holds a thin corridor of open space along the River Brent, including playing fields, a country park and the golf course, squeezed between the A40 and the surrounding residential streets of Perivale, Greenford and Northolt. This part of west London is one of the more built-up stretches of the capital, making surviving green corridors like the Brent valley particularly valuable to local residents. The golf course here forms part of a wider pattern of council-run leisure facilities across outer London boroughs, typically developed on flood-prone or otherwise less buildable land alongside rivers. Its position keeps it within easy reach of the North Circular and the Central and Piccadilly underground lines serving this part of Ealing.
