Ravenscourt is a compact, largely residential ward in the west of the London borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, centred on the much-loved green heart of Ravenscourt Park. The area has a leafy, village-like feel with many Victorian and Edwardian terraces, conservation areas and small rows of independent shops and cafés; transport links are good, with Ravenscourt Park tube station nearby and easy access into central London.
Historically the parkland grew out of a private estate and was laid out for public use in the late Victorian period, and it still hosts community events, sports facilities and a café, giving the ward a lively local scene. The population is a mix of long-standing residents and young professionals, reflected in a local economy of boutiques, pubs and services, alongside pockets of social housing and active neighbourhood groups that shape everyday life.
