Westerley Ware is a small garden and recreation ground in Kew in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames.
Historically common land, it has a memorial garden – bordered by hedges – to the fallen in the First World War, a grass area, three hard tennis courts and a children's playground.
[1] Until the 18th century, Westerley Ware was much larger and was almost certainly used by fishermen as a place to beach their boats and to dry and mend their nets.
[2] Its name refers to the use of netting weirs or "wares" to catch fish.
[1][3] In 1997 local residents in Kew formed the Westerley Ware Association which has raised funds for projects to improve the park and to employ a part-time gardener.
