With strong connections to central London, and on the doorstep of the second busiest airport in the world, Hounslow has a lot going for it. But there’s a lot more to the London suburb than just its proximity to Heathrow Airport. With Kew Palace & Gardens a short drive away, you can be in the middle of one of the densest and diverse plant populations on earth, while crossing the River Thames leads you to Syon Park, a stunning Georgian stately home that’s featured in Downton Abbey. Sports fans will flock to Twickenham, the world’s largest dedicated rugby stadium that hosts England games, and Brentford FC, a long-standing professional football club, while the Hounslow district is also packed with country parks, urban farms, museums and a vibrant nightlife and eating out scene. Handily, our Heathrow Airport Bath Road hotel and Heathrow Airport Terminal 4 hotel are both five minutes from all the action including Heathrow Airport.
