Park Royal Mini Guide
What is Park Royal?
Park Royal is the largest industrial park in London, located in the north-west of the city, spanning the boroughs of
Ealing and Brent. It has over 2,000 businesses based there, including McVities and Heinz. Diageo, the largest producer of sprits, beer and wine, also has its headquarters here.
What’s its History?
Park Royal takes its name from the Royal Agricultural Society who in 1903, used the park for exhibitions. After 3 years, the site was sold and it was to become an industrial centre because of its easy access by canal, road and rail. For many years, it became an engineering centre, but after 1980, it attracted many new firms. One of these was Guinness, who built the biggest and most productive brewery in the world there. This since, has been demolished.
