Welcome to West Drayton

West Drayton is a suburban town located in the London Borough of Hillingdon. It is situated approximately 15 miles west of central London and is bordered by the River Colne to the north and the Grand Union Canal to the south. The town has a rich history dating back to the Roman times, and it was once a major stop on the Great Western Railway. Today, West Drayton is a bustling town with a diverse population and a range of amenities.

One of the main attractions in West Drayton is the Colne Valley Regional Park, which covers over 40 square miles of countryside and includes a number of nature reserves, parks, and waterways. The park is a popular destination for walkers, cyclists, and nature enthusiasts, and it offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Other notable landmarks in West Drayton include St. Martin's Church, which dates back to the 13th century, and the historic Packet Boat Marina, which is home to a number of houseboats and narrowboats.

West Drayton is also well-connected to the rest of London, with easy access to the M4 and M25 motorways, as well as Heathrow Airport. The town has its own railway station, which provides regular services to London Paddington and Reading. In recent years, West Drayton has undergone significant redevelopment, with a number of new housing developments and commercial projects being built in the area. Despite this, the town has managed to retain its unique character and charm, making it a popular place to live and visit.
