Why Hounslow is the Perfect Place to Call Home

Nestled on the western edge of Greater London, Hounslow offers the perfect blend of urban convenience and suburban appeal. It’s why we chose it as the location for Lampton Parkside; a stylish new-build collection of one, two and three-bedroom apartments and duplexes in Hounslow where you can enjoy a balanced lifestyle. With that in mind, here are five reasons why the neighbourhood is the perfect place to call home.
1. Area Regeneration
Hounslow town centre has undergone significant regeneration in recent years due to its status as a Mayoral Housing Zone, with 4,000 new homes delivered over the past decade. And there’s more to come. Most recently, Hounslow Council submitted a Local Plan to drive ambitious, sustainable development in the area. The plan includes building at least 28,800 new homes by 2041, making improvements to infrastructure, and supporting 20,000 new jobs.
2. Diverse Shopping
Shopping is another aspect of Hounslow’s regeneration plans, with 117,362 sq ft of new retail and leisure space in the pipeline. In the meantime, the area’s current retail offering has all the essentials covered. On the high street, you’ll find supermarkets, clothing shops and pharmacies. It’s also home to the Treaty Shopping Centre, which houses 42 high-street brands and eateries under one roof.
Additionally, some of London’s most luxurious boutiques and department stores are just a tube ride away, as you can reach Knightsbridge from Hounslow Central in 33 minutes. Here, world-famous retail destinations like Harrods and Harvey Nichols await.
3. Exceptional Connectivity
Living in Hounslow means living in one of West London’s most well-connected neighbourhoods. Lampton Parkside is a four-minute walk from Hounslow Central underground station, which provides regular services on the Piccadilly line, giving you convenient access to Zone 1 and beyond.
Heathrow Airport is also nearby, just four miles from the development. So, whether travelling for work or play, the rest of the world is your oyster as a Hounslow resident.
4. Scenic Green spaces
Hounslow boasts 21 Green Flag Award spaces, an internationally recognised accolade given to well-managed, high-quality parks and green spaces. Lampton Park is one of these award-winning green spaces, and it’s right on the doorstep of Lampton Parkside. Covering 40 acres, the park contains a network of pathways and grassy areas, interspersed with sports courts, a playground and an area dedicated to nature conservation.
To the south-west of Lampton Parkside, you’ll find the historic Hounslow Heath. Offering a slice of the countryside in the city, this 200-acre green space is a designated nature reserve and Site of Metropolitan Importance for Nature Conservation. Ideal for walking, cycling and wildlife spotting, the heath offers a peaceful escape from the city's hustle and bustle.
5. International Culinary Scene
If you’re a foodie, you’ll love exploring Hounslow’s diverse culinary scene. International cuisine and authentic flavours, spanning Asian, Middle Eastern and European, are on the menus at local restaurants. Some of the top-rated eateries include:
- Pasa Restaurant: A favourite for its classic Nepalese cuisine and warm atmosphere.
- La Nasu’: Lauded for its traditional Romanian food, such as comforting stews and soups.
- Chicago Grill Hounslow: The go-to for American diner classics like burgers, hot dogs and wings.
