The Grove in Chiswick was first recorded in the 13th century and there had been a building on the site since 1412. Grove House was a Tudor house, built circa 1530, remodelled in the eighteenth century by Decimus Burton and, unusually, remained a private home from when it was built until it was demolished in 1928 and Kinnaird Avenue was built on its site. Some of the trees that were in the grounds still exist. At one stage it had eighty acres of formal gardens and avenues, riding stables, and ice house and a lake near the river bank. (Roe, 1992).

The Duke of Devonshire, owner of Chiswick House, owned the land on which Chiswick Station was built in 1849. He acquired Grove House in 1861, which was close to the Thames, and developed its grounds as an estate known as Grove Park on the land south of the railway. Grove Park was the first large Victorian housing estate in Chiswick. A prospective layout was published in 1867 with large mansions set in spacious grounds. The early road names reflect the influence of the Duke of Devonshire whose surname is Cavendish.

Regarded as Chiswick's 'family area' due to the typical size of gardens, number of schools and open parkland in Chiswick House & Gardens.

Grove Park is located north of the River Thames, South of the A4/M4, West of Chiswick Mall and east of Strand on the Green
