What locals say about Hounslow

“Plenty of places to eat! Easy access to Chiswick, Kingston, Richmond, 3 Piccadilly line tube stations for easy access to central London. Hounslow has fantastic growth potential and a lot of money is being invested into it due to close proximity to Heathrow. ”

“Whitton is a lovely place to live, some beautiful leafy roads, great schools and good local services. The transport links are brilliant, I can be in central London in 30 mins by train and on the M25 in 10 mins by driving down the M3. I have lived in the area now for 5 years. What a lot of people don't realise is that Whitton is actually part of Twickenham, but house prices are slightly more affordable and often the properties are larger and have better parking. Moved to Waverley Avenue in 2010 and absolutely love the area. Had no idea that Whitton / Waverley Avenue TW2 was actually part of Twickenham until our driving licences came back. Whitton has all the benefits of living close to Twickenham's centre, but it is quieter, better value for money, you don't need a permit to park outside your own house and you have the same access to all the good schools as you do in Richmond Upon Thames. Highly recommend.”
