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 and also the Heston and Isleworth Urban District of Middlesex. It borders the boroughs of Richmond upon Thames, Hammersmith and Fulham, Ealing and Hillingdon, along with the Surrey borough of Spelthorne. The local authority is Hounslow London Borough Council. Hounslow grew quickly in the latter half of the 20th century resulting from other travel, a connection to the largest of London’s airports since the 1940s, Heathrow Airport which is inside the Hounslow post town. The Great West Road, which crosses the borough from Chiswick to Heathrow, at one time served nationally and globally popular manufacturers including Firestone, Gillette and Coty. Because of this, the area became known as the ‘Golden Mile’. A few of these factory sites remain, including Gillette Corner, and the Great West Road is still home to several prestigious names, supplying them with easy non-motorway access between Slough, London Heathrow Airport and Central London. Other notable landmarks include Osterley Park, Gunnersbury Park, Syon House, the London Museum of Water and Steam, and Chiswick House.
