Hounslow West Station (GPS: 51.47311, -0.38574) is a station of the London Underground in Hounslow, in the London Borough of Hounslow. It is located along Bath Road (A3006), not far from Beaversfield Park, in Travelcard Zone 5. The station is served by the Heathrow branch of the Piccadilly Line between Hounslow Central Tube Station (heading towards Cockfosters Tube Station) and Hatton Cross Tube Station (heading towards Heathrow Airport Terminals 4 or 5).

Hounslow West Tube Station is the second last station before the train enters Heathrow Airport. It was completed in 1884 and was originally called Hounslow Barracks, after the Cavalry Barracks on Beavers Lane. It was at that time a terminus station. The tracks underwent electrification in 1903. Houslow West Tube Station was given its present name in 1925, at the same time as the renaming of the now Hounslow Central and Hounslow East tube stations.

Extension of the line towards Heathrow Airport began in the early 1970's. In order to reach the airport without necessitating the demolition of many existing houses, the line was realigned slightly, to follow Bath Road and Great South West Road, and was built using cut and cover. The new extension was completed and began operations in 1975.

About this website



Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
