Brentford East
Hounslow, London
Brentford East sits on the Thames and Grand Union Canal in the north of Hounslow, a ward where the river, the canal and the Kew Gardens opposite bank define the character. The twelve listed buildings include three Grade I entries at the former Kew Bridge Pumping Station — the Main Building, the Great Engine House and the Metropolitan Water Board tower, now the London Museum of Water & Steam and home to the largest collection of Cornish engines in the world. Green space scores very highly at 84 out of 100 thanks to Gunnersbury Park and the riverfront, and air quality is surprisingly good given the setting. Public-transport access is moderate with Kew Bridge and Gunnersbury on South Western Railway and the District line. The weak points: safety sits below the borough median, only three outstanding-rated schools are within reach, and market conditions are pressured because of new riverside development.
