Living in Isleworth (West Middlesex Hospital)
West Middlesex Hospital is located in Isleworth, which is on the banks of the River Thames, with a
large number of parks and open spaces and has many scenic views of the river.
Isleworth is in the west London borough of Hounslow. It sits beside the River Thames and boasts treelined streets and elegant period properties.
Wealthy nobles built their country mansions in Isleworth after the Royal family took up residence in
nearby Kew in the 18th century. As a result, the area still has large parks and grand residences.
Osterley Park has acres of parkland to explore and is now held by the National Trust. Many streets are
tree-lined and some houses have communal gardens.
The hub of the town is on the river, where you can find listed Georgian houses and a monthly market.
For shopping, head to the independent outlets found on St John’s Street, or jump on the Tube to
nearby Hounslow. You can also make use of the town’s library and leisure centre.
Isleworth is set to benefit from a £151m regeneration scheme, with improvements to Duke’s River and
a new riverside walk planned.
New housing developments are also updating Isleworth’s waterfront. Modern apartments and
townhouses are being built on restored riverside parkland and some listed properties are being
converted into luxury flats.
The area’s other big draw is its commuter connections. You can easily access the Tube and rail
network, as well as major roads.
