Gunnersbury Park is is a park that was purchased for the nation from the Rothschild family. The name derives from Gunylda, the niece of King Canute who lived here until her banishment from England in 1044. The mansion on the grounds is now the Gunnersbury Park Museum that holds objects related to local history and archaeology, costume and fine art. Some memorabilia of the Rothschilds are also on display, including some of their horse-drawn coaches.
