Why is it called Westbourne Park?
Hammersmith & CityCircle
Where the name comes from
Named after Westbourne, which takes its name from the River Westbourne, a spring-fed Thames tributary enclosed in the 1850s; the stream and its manor gave rise to Westbourne Park and related names.
Worth knowing: A bomb planted by the Suffragettes was discovered at the station on 16 May 1913.
