Walpole House was built in the late C17th incorporating earlier fabric and was connected with Dr Turner's Academy. The present L-shaped garden that extends north from the house with a broad section to the west probably dates from the late C19th/early C20th, laid out by Sir Herbert and Lady Tree, confirmed in the later C20th by Mrs Robert Benson and her grandson Jeremy Benson. A terrace from the house leads to rectangular lawn with steps up to the main garden area which has a paved north-south axial path running through the lawn. A path leads westwards into the western section, and in the south is a 1930s paved formal pool. The garden is enclosed on its three sides, with mature trees and shrubs of great variety, including acer, eucalyptus, medlar, poplar, tulip tree.

The site used to be gasworks. Waterman's Park has recently been refurbished due to loss of public space opposite. As part of the project entrances and signs were upgraded through a community arts project. Metalwork artists Shelly Thomas based at the Forge in Kew Bridge Steam Museum worked with young people and a series of public meetings guided the designs. Either end of the park are metal arches, with symbols and herons on steel columns. Funded by LB Hounslow, the work was completed in 1997.
