Gwendwr Gardens is a small park in West Kensington, West London. In 1948, a plot of land was donated to the Metropolitan Borough of Fulham by the Gunter estate for a memorial to the victims of German air raids in the area, particularly the Operation Steinbock raid on the night of 20 February 1944.[1][2][3][4]
The park contains a sunken area with a pond, lawns and a commemorative plaque.
