This quaint and likeable West London suburb packs some punch and is well on its way to put itself on the map – here’s top 10 reasons why*:

1. 87% growth in housing prices in Hanwell since 2010
2. 13% forecasted housing price increase in Greater London between 2020 and 2024
3. Benefit from the recent transformation of neighbouring regeneration areas around Ealing and a further £5 billion is being invested into new homes, transport, infrastructure, retail and leisure. With that, it’s no surprise that the population is set to increase by 7.6% by 2026
4. 31% increase in the number of people moving to Ealing from other parts of the UK over the last 5 years
5. 69% of people moving to Ealing are aged below 35 in 2019
6. Hanwell Station will be served by Crossrail’s new Elizabeth Line, offering high speed services direct to central London every 5 minutes during peak times. Arrive to Heathrow in 11 minutes, and Bond Street in 17 minutes
7. £1,580 average monthly rent for a 2 bedroom flat in Ealing
8. 4.7% rental growth for flats in Ealing over the last 5 years
9. 15% rental growth in Greater London over the next 5 years between 2020 and 2024
10. 73 Ofsted rated ‘outstanding’ or ‘good’ primary and secondary schools in the borough. Imperial College at White City is only 5 miles away, with top London universities a short ride away on the Elizabeth line

Hanwell is in good company surrounded by green space – all 3,300 acres of it being in London’s greenest borough – and rubs shoulders with neighbouring Ealing, Brentford, Chiswick, White City, Richmond and Kew. Add that to impressive transport links and Hanwell Square really does benefit from it all. It welcomes a local community where new homes, shops and businesses all come together and weave into the fabric of the existing historical area.
