Sounds Original Collectors Record Shop
One of the few remaining record shops. They have a great selection of original vinyl from the 1950s to 1980s all in great condition. The shop has been in Ealing since 1983 and always has a great selection, with new finds every time I've been in there.Read more

"In 1911 The 11 year old Hon Mrs Victor Bruce used to bomb around Osterley on her brother's motorcycle with her collie dog in the sidecar. Her wings were clipped however when she was done for speeding and was banned from riding until she was 16!"
Hanwell Clock Tower is at the heart of the conservation area and Hanwell's charming town centre.

Flowing from Birmingham into the River Thames through Hayes, the Grand Union Canal is a picturesque stretch for walking the dog.

Strawberry Hill House is a stunning place. Enjoy the gardens for free or take a breather in their nice café round the back.

What locals say about Heston
“Connectivity with Central London.”
Sarah
“The lovely rural setting. Heston is stepped in history and benefits from its close proximity to Osterlery Park & House which is part of The National Trust. The area is typified by pre and post war housing. A notable exception of this is the Wheatlands Estate, built in 1963, which boasts a wide selection of two-bed apartments ranging up to four-bed detached houses all in a very modern style.”
