Visting the Park
By Train
Situated very close to Canons Park underground station on the Jubilee Line, the park is well served by public transport.
By Bus
Enter from Whitchurch Lane (buses 79, 186 and 340 drop you right by the entrance), or walk from the underground station along Donnefield Avenue to the park entrance at the end. Alternatively, there are entrances at the top end of Canons Drive, and on Howberry Road.
Please note that some roads near the park have restricted parking hours. There is a station car park in Donnefield Avenue and a number of spaces at the top end of Canons Drive, including two for disabled drivers.
A Fully Accessible Park
The park is accessible, with a flat pathway that runs right around the perimeter enabling wheelchair users, walkers, joggers, and families with pushchairs to explore and enjoy this wonderful, historic landscape.
Toilet Facilities
There is a toilet at the walled Bothy building, which is open every day to coincide with the cafe’s opening hours. This facility is cleaned daily by the cafe staff on a voluntary basis only and is officially maintained by Harrow Council. Any complaints, comments or enquiries should be directed to the relevant department via their website: www.harrow.gov.uk.
Good Friends Cafe
LIAM’S IN THE PARK, our popular café, has become the social hub of the park! With plenty of outdoor seating and picnic tables nearby, friends and family can meet up for lunchtime snacks, teatime goodies and ice creams. Now that the days are colder they are also offering wonderful vegetable or chicken soups plus a hearty beef stew! If the weather is cold and wet the pop-up dome will keep you dry whilst you shelter from the elements.
Autumn / Winter opening times are 8am to 4pm every weekday and 9am to 4pm every weekend.
Dog Walkers
Dogs are welcome in all areas but the council asks that dog owners put their pets on a lead in the Memorial Garden, so that those who come there for a little peace and quiet – or are afraid of dogs – can enjoy the surroundings.
Please also remember that the pond at the centre of the garden is home to a variety of wildlife, including frogs and newts, so allowing your dog to swim in the pond is both anti-social and harmful to these little creatures. We understand that flea treatments for dogs are especially harmful to the water and would point out that anti-social behaviour results in glass and litter being thrown into the pond, which could result in a painful injury to your dog. The council tries to clean out the pond whenever possible but cannot guarantee that it is safe for dogs or children to enter.
