History
Hounslow has structurally existed since the 13th century, however its first mention appeared in the Domesday Book as ‘Honeslauu’ - Old English for ‘hill’ or ‘mound’.
A year before the signing of the Magna Carta, Friars founded the Holy Trinity and chose Hounslow as their settlement, which became a safe haven for travellers and the sick. By 1650, more than 120 houses existed in the town, mostly as inns or alehouses for those passing through London.
The rural spectacle, Hounslow Heath, which is now a Local Nature Reserve, was once used by Oliver Cromwell and King James II as a military encampment before being used as a hideaway by infamous highwaymen.
In the 1920s, the construction of the Great West Road, formerly Bath Road, attracted large corporations to build their factories and headquarters in the area. Today, Hounslow is home to the European headquarters for world-leading finance business, GE, and offices for the global healthcare company, GlaxoSmithKline.
The opening of Heathrow Airport in 1946, then known as London Airport, brought further growth and business potential into the area after its opening in 1946, turning Hounslow into an economic hub within the west of the capital city.
