About

Hounslow is a district in west London within the London Borough of Hounslow, formed around the Bath Road coaching route. The High Street and the Treaty Centre make up the town's retail core; shops, municipal buildings and a market sit close together. Hounslow Heath lies to the south of the town centre and retains stretches of heathland where coaches once paused and highwaymen were active in the 18th century. St Mary's Church and Lampton Park are local landmarks and conservation areas protect Victorian terraces and public buildings.

Transport shapes the district: Hounslow railway station sits on the Hounslow Loop Line and Hounslow East, Central and West are on the Piccadilly line, providing links across London. Bus routes run along the Bath Road and through the High Street. The area includes a mix of housing, local services, schools and light industrial units; community spaces include parks and sports facilities. Street-level signs and public artworks record waves of settlement and commerce that have marked Hounslow since its days on the coach route.
