The streets near Ravenscourt Park – Ravenscourt Road, Park, Gardens and Square – are now a conservation area containing Georgian and Victorian houses from terraces to detached villas, some with views over the Park. Attractive houses are also to be found on the other side of Paddenswick Road in Wingate Road, Dorville Crescent and connecting roads. Similarly, on the other side of Goldhawk Road in the roads named for Stamford Brook and Ashchurch. There are also new houses and flats on the sites of two former hospitals: The Royal Masonic Hospital near the Park and Queen Charlotte’s Hospital near Goldhawk Road.
