Lampton Park was laid out on agricultural land purchased by Heston & Isleworth UDC in 1925, and eventually opened in 1930. It was laid out by the Park Superintendent, with a large and elaborate rose garden as its main feature. Sports facilities for bowling, putting and tennis were provided as well as for cricket, hockey and rugby. Lampton Park was one of the parks used for the Charter Celebrations in October 1932 when the UDC became a Borough Council. In 1951 a Sarsen Stone was set up in the park, which had been unearthed in 1926 from a pit of the Hounslow Sand and Gravel Co.'s works at Heston.

Nazareth House Convent was formerly Isleworth House, which had been rebuilt in 1832 by Edward Blore for George III's chaplain, Sir William Cooper. The C18th owner of the estate had diverted Richmond Road so that it did not separate the house from the river. The garden led down to the river and the estate had its own burial ground. Purchased by the Sisters of Nazareth in 1892, it became their Convent and later an old people's home, but has been empty since 2002.

New Brentford Cemetery was opened in 1903, the C of E section consecrated by the Bishop of Kensington in May of that year. The cemetery has its original entrance gates and gate piers, with pine trees planted along the drive to the small brick chapel with its picturesque spire, and at the perimeter at the western end. In front of the chapel, the Great War Cross was erected by the Imperial War Graves Commission and unveiled by Col Horlock in April 1925. Of Portland stone with a cross of St George, this was a replica of those placed on the battlefields of France, Belgium and Gallipoli. The cemetery is bordered by the railway and has chain link fencing at the eastern end, beyond which are still fields.

The manor of Osterley dates back many centuries, but the beginnings of the park as it exists today developed from the C16th when the estate was owned by the Gresham family. It was substantially remodelled in the C18th by the wealthy Child family, who purchased the estate in 1711. Osterley House was built in the 1760s to designs of Robert Adam for Sir Francis Child, and later his brother Robert, and its surrounding gardens and park were laid out. Earlier formal gardens were replaced by a more informal landscape, possibly designed by Robert Child's wife. In the early C19th the estate came through inheritance to the Jersey family and there was extensive tree-planting. In 1949 the house and 57 hectares were left to the National Trust, which later acquired further land, the remainder of the estate in private ownership.

The Manor of Hanworth is referred in the Domesday Book and in the C15th was owned by the Crown. In 1519 Henry VIII gave it to the Rector of St George's Hanworth. Rectory Meadow, part of land owned by the Rector, was purchased under the auspices of the Middlesex County Council in 1946/48 for public open space, although discussions had begun in 1939. Hanworth Borough Council received a grant from King George's Fields Foundation towards the park, which opened in 1953.

The park is on land once a gravel pit and formerly part of the grounds of Redlees House. Around 5.8 hectares were acquired by Heston & Isleworth UDC and Redlees Park was officially opened in July 1932, on the same day two other local recreation grounds, Beaversfield and Heston Parks. In October it was one of the parks used as a venue for the Heston & Isleworth Charter Celebrations. Its original facilities included a children's playground, football pitches, a cricket table, bowling green, grass and hard tennis courts and an 18-hole putting green, and other facilities were planned when money was available.

Silverhall Park is on part of the former Silver Hall estate. The name appears to have been used for the estate from the mid-C18th after its owner Mrs Oliver, nee Silver. The house was demolished in the early C19th and the estate sold piecemeal. A new house was built in 1813 on a site now occupied by the park. From 1880 - 1908 Silver Hall was occupied by Carmelite nuns who had moved here from Fulham Carmel. It was later a school but by the 1940s the house was derelict and it was demolished in the 1950s. Gates on North Street and the remains of the ice house are all that are left. A section of the C16th Duke of Northumberland's River runs through the park

South West Middlesex Crematorium opened in 1954 and now serves the London boroughs of Hounslow, Ealing, Hillingdon, Richmond and Spelthorne Borough Council. Surrounded at that time by open parkland, the site was chosen for 'its beauty and peaceful nature'. The group of buildings was planned on a symmetrical axis with a central Garden of Remembrance. The landscaped grounds have varied gardens behind the Crematorium building with numerous trees of many species; extensive rose gardens, and woodland areas.

Although a church dedicated to St Dunstan may have been erected here in 988 AD, the year of his death, the first reference to a church at Feltham was in the C12th. The medieval church was rebuilt in the early C19th, and later enlarged. The churchyard is largely enclosed by high brick walls and has a number of C18th chest tombs and urn-topped monuments, with cedar, yew and holly among the churchyard trees.

St Dunstan's Recreation Ground was opened in 1951 on land originally owned by the adjacent St Dunstan's Church, the Feltham UDC paying £1 on the understanding that it would be opened as a public recreation ground. By the 1930s the old village of Feltham around the parish church was becoming built up with new housing. It had became known as Lower Feltham after the area to the north became built up from the late 1840s after the opening of Feltham Station.

The first reference to a church here is in 1293 although the Manor of Hanworth is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. From the C15th - C17th the Manor was owned by the Crown, and members of the royal family undoubtedly worshipped at St George's when they were visiting Hanworth Park, where they hunted. The medieval church was demolished when a new church was built in 1812. The churchyard has a few graves from the C18th including a group by the south porch, although inscriptions are no longer decipherable. There are a number of yews including one at least 200 years old, although it was once rumoured to be 1,000 years old!

St John the Baptist Church was built in 1856, when Isleworth's growing population had outgrown the parish church of All Saints. The site and the sum of £2,000 were donated by the Duke of Northumberland, the balance raised by local benefactors such as the Glossop and Farnell families. The adjacent day school, vicarage and almshouses were built at the behest of the brewer John Farnell, the school of 1858 now converted for private residence. The church is surrounded by a simple garden, with a number of trees.
