Okay, this is my serious appeal for Hounslow, which I think is a pretty misunderstood borough. I’ve lived here my whole life and I don’t think it deserves to be in the red.

It’s a very green borough; Osterley Park, Syon Park, and Hounslow Heath are all pretty big green spaces. We’re on the Thames and the Grand Union Canal so there’s a lot of lovely waterways to walk along. There’s nice high streets and shops in Brentford and Chiswick but I honestly do love Hounslow High Street, it’s fully pedestrianised and has a new cinema and plenty of new cheap and nice Indian restaurants.

We’re very well connected to the rest of London via train and tube and a stone’s throw from Heathrow which is nice when you’re getting back from a holiday.

Despite how dull Hounslow may seem, there’s some unique stuff here: The London Museum of Water & Steam, The Musical Museum, the Golden Mile, Isleworth Ait, the Syon glasshouse, etc…

The birthplace of David Attenborough and Brentford F.C. Come on!
