Normand Park was created on the site of a C17th villa, Normand House, after WWII bombing severely damaged property in the area. In the C19th the house was used as an asylum, school and then a convent prior to its demolition. The LCC enclosed the bombed area for housing development and the public park, which opened in 1952. It was later extended to the south as further demolition took place and in 1971 it was transferred to Hammersmith & Fulham Council and completed with distinct areas providing playground, bowling green and sports areas. Fulham Pools opened here in 1982. In 2008 Normand Park re-opened after a major refurbishment project that has brought numerous new facilities.

One such was North End Villa, later House, which had extensive wooded grounds. The western part of the grounds began to be built over in the late C19th and the house was demolished in 1928 following a fire.
