Welcome to Hanwell

Hanwell is a suburban district located in the London Borough of Ealing. It is situated approximately 10.5 miles west of Charing Cross and is bordered by the River Brent to the west and the Grand Union Canal to the south. Hanwell is known for its green spaces, including the Brent Lodge Park and the Hanwell Zoo, which is home to a variety of animals such as meerkats, lemurs, and wallabies. The area is also home to the Hanwell Community Centre, which hosts a range of events and activities for local residents.

Hanwell has a rich history, dating back to the 12th century when it was known as Hanewelle. The area was once a rural village, but it began to develop in the 19th century with the arrival of the Great Western Railway. Hanwell Station was opened in 1838, and the area became a popular destination for day-trippers from London. Today, Hanwell is a diverse and vibrant community, with a mix of residential and commercial properties. The area is well-connected to the rest of London, with several bus routes and two tube stations nearby.

Hanwell is home to a number of notable landmarks, including the Hanwell Clock Tower, which was built in 1937 to commemorate the coronation of King George VI. The clock tower is located in the centre of Hanwell and is a popular meeting place for locals. Another landmark is the Wharncliffe Viaduct, which was built in 1837 and is one of the oldest railway viaducts in the world. The viaduct spans the River Brent and is a popular spot for walkers and cyclists. Hanwell is also home to several churches, including St Mary's Church, which dates back to the 12th century and is one of the oldest churches in London.
