Choose Hounslow for your First Home

Hounslow is a large suburban district of West London that rubs shoulders with Hammersmith, Hillingdon, and Richmond-upon-Thames. The London borough is celebrated for its diversity, beautiful green spaces, and abundance of multi-cultural food and fashion stores. Residents of Hounslow benefit from urban convenience as well as the peace and tranquillity of a more suburban neighbourhood.

Hounslow local amenities

Known as the borough of contrasts, Hounslow has something for everyone from footballers to foodies and shoppers to strollers. The Treaty Centre on the high street is a shopping centre that hosts more than 50 of the best high-street brands, including H&M, Pandora, and Next. Chiswick, western Hounslow, is the picturesque home of independent shops and boutiques, as well as fantastic wine bars and gastropubs. Local favourites are Vinoteca and The George IV.

Food shopping is hassle free, with a wide variety of supermarkets like Sainsbury’s, Asda, and Iceland available in central Hounslow. Delicious foods from around the globe are never more than a stone’s throw away as international food stores, including the Asian Food Centre and Alminta Food, specialist in Eastern European ingredients, are all close by. Chiswick is home to a Waitrose and hosts The Food Market every Sunday from 10am-2pm at The Pavillion, where browsers can purchase the finest natural produce, from olives and artisan pastries, to local veg, cheeses, and cider.

Your Commute from Hounslow

The thriving business district of Hammersmith – with its vibrant restaurant and pub scene – is just 20 minutes away, and you can get to Piccadilly Circus in central London in around 40 minutes. Driving is straightforward too, as motorists are connected to major roads, the M4, M25, and North and South Circular. When venturing further afield for business or leisure, Hounslow’s residents enjoy hassle-free access to Heathrow airport, which is only 15 minutes away by train or an 11-minute drive away.

Entertainment in Hounslow

There’s never a dull moment in Hounslow. Find the latest flicks at Cineworld in the borough’s centre, or head to a fitness class at The Paul Robeson Theatre, an arts hub containing a 280-seater theatre, dance studio, café, and bar. Other great local venues include the Tabard Theatre, a 96-seater studio theatre above the Tabard pub, which showcases an eclectic mix of new productions and revivals. For larger shows, you’re only a short train journey from London’s world-famous West End.

Hounslow holds five stately homes, the most notable being Syon House and Osterly House. Syon House sits in Syon Park, a 200-acre space containing a conservatory, gardens, parkland, trees, grasslands, and meadows. The immensity of the site transports you to the depths of the countryside whilst only being nine miles from Charing Cross. Osterly House rests within National Trust site, Osterly Park – a similarly grand estate with spectacularly colourful gardens. Botanical must-see, Kew Gardens – which contains over 40,000 living plants – is also on the periphery and holds a range of events throughout the year.
