Hanworth: West London Suburb Between Feltham and Twickenham on a Former Royal Hunting Ground
Hanworth sits in the London Borough of Hounslow, about 12 miles west of central London. The population of the Hanworth area is around 15,000. The site was once a royal manor with a hunting park used by Henry VIII. Hanworth Park, 24 acres of the former estate, survives as a public park with a community centre. The area was largely agricultural until interwar housing development covered the fields. Hanworth Air Park, a small aerodrome on the southern edge, was used for civil aviation in the 1920s and 1930s; it now functions as a park and playing fields, though the name persists. The area has a typical outer London suburban character without a strong commercial centre.
Local shops are scattered along Uxbridge Road and Hampton Road. Feltham station, about a mile to the south, offers trains to London Waterloo in 30 minutes. The A316 runs to the north toward the M3. Twickenham is about two miles to the northeast.
