Location

Hanwell

Hanwell is located in the London Borough of Ealing (often referred to as the Queen of the Suburbs), close to the M4 and just twenty-five minutes from the M25. Central London is also within easy reach, with Hanwell Station a few minutes walk away. Ealing Broadway national rail and underground station is two stops down the line, providing direct services to London Paddington taking about fifteen minutes at peak times. For international travel, Heathrow is less than ten miles away.

In addition to its convenient location, Hanwell is perfect for downtime, combining suburban tranquillity with urban energy. Its serene, cherry tree lined crescents and avenues belie the vibrant streets that sit just minutes away. Close to Ealing High Street, less than twenty minutes from Brent Cross and half an hour to central London, the location of Manor House Court offers the best of both worlds. For lovers of wildlife and fresh air, Hanwell is home to some of London's best preserved open access areas, with meadows, parks and riverside walks on the doorstep.

• If you enjoy shopping, spend time exploring the area's retail outlets. Bang & Olufsen, Marks & Spencer, Nike and Waitrose are amongst the familiar high street names that sit side by side with an amazing array of designer boutiques, independent book stores and shabby-chic gift shops in nearby Ealing. Further afield, London's shops can be reached in less than half an hour, and Brent Cross is just twenty minutes away by car.
• Foodies are well catered for, with Indian, Thai, English, Chinese, Turkish, Caribbean, Persian and Greek restaurants all to be found within a mile.

• Explore Hanwell's leafy green fields and meadows; Boles Meadow, Conolly Dell, Cuckoo Park and Elthorne Waterside are just round the corner with tranquil walks aplenty alongside the nearby canal and river.
