This was a must-see for me simply because of the Absolutely Fabulous television show, where the lead character Edina Monsoon is constantly pointing out her residence in this posh neighborhood and is furious when anyone mistakes her address for the nearby but far less fashionable Sherpherd's Bush. It really is the Beverly Hills of London--huge mansions with enormous courtyards, Rolls Royces and Daimlers on every street, the most luxurious Tesco Express supermarket I could imagine, and a very upscale, brainy bookshop. The park itself is lovely and combines formal gardens with pure wilderness, as well as its famous population of peacocks.
