About

Hounslow Heath is a large area of open public land in the London Borough of Hounslow. It consists of expansive grassland, scrub, and woodland, providing a significant green space in west London. The terrain is historically heathland, a landscape that has been largely lost across the city. It serves as an important local recreation ground with numerous footpaths for walking and cycling across its broad, flat expanses.

The heath has a notable history as a former common and a reputed haunt for highwaymen in the 18th century. Today, it includes areas managed for nature conservation, with patches of gorse and birch woodland. A distinctive feature is its location directly under the flight path to Heathrow Airport, with low-flying aircraft frequently passing overhead. This creates a constant juxtaposition of natural quiet and the sound of modern travel.
