About

Heston West is a residential ward in the London Borough of Hounslow centred on the old Heston village core. The area is made up of terraces, semi-detached houses and pockets of mid‑20th century housing around small local parades. The Green sits at the centre of the ward and is overlooked by St Leonard’s Church, which has been part of the parish for centuries. Local services include Heston Community School, a library and several community centres that host sports and youth activities.

Open space in the ward includes a recreation ground and a number of playing fields used by local clubs. A short walk from the village core leads to allotment plots and linear green strips that run between residential streets. Public transport routes serve the main shopping streets and provide direct connections toward Hounslow and the airport area, while bus services link the ward to neighbouring districts. Small independent shops, convenience stores and a handful of cafes form the local high street offer.
