Driving in and around Hounslow
Hounslow sits in west London with strong road connections to the rest of the capital and beyond. The borough borders Heathrow Airport, making it a convenient base for travellers arriving by air. The A4 and M4 corridor provides direct access toward central London to the east and the motorway network heading west toward the rest of England.
Drivers heading into central London should be aware of two key charges: the Congestion Charge zone and the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), which applies across a wide area of Greater London.
