The London Borough of Hounslow is a London borough in west London, England, forming a part of Outer London. The borough was formed in 1965, under the London Government Act 1963, by the merger of the area of the former Brentford and Chiswick Urban District, Feltham Urban District along with the Heston and Isleworth Urban District of Middlesex. Hounslow covers a total area of around 21.61 square miles. The borough stretches from close to Central London to the east to the border with Surrey towards the west, covering Chiswick, Brentford, Isleworth and Feltham in addition to Hounslow itself. Hounslow grew swiftly during the latter half of the twentieth century due to other travel, a connection to the largest of London’s airports since the 1940s, Heathrow Airport which is within the Hounslow post town. The Great West Road, which crosses the borough from Chiswick to Heathrow, formerly served nationally and globally well-known manufacturers such as Firestone, Gillette and Coty. Because of this, the borough became called the ‘Golden Mile’. Several of these factory sites remain, for example Gillette Corner, plus the Great West Road continues to be home to many prestigious names, supplying them with easy non-motorway access between Slough, London Heathrow Airport and Central London. Other notable landmarks consist of Osterley Park, Gunnersbury Park, Syon House, the London Museum of Water and Steam, and Chiswick House.
