"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!"
Some fantastic contemporary developments have popped up in Hayes in recent years, owing largely to its fantastic position for Heathrow.

The moment you enter through the gates of Syon House and drive up through the meadow, the surrounding hustle and bustle just seems to melt away...

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.”
