I Lived in Hounslow for the last 10+ years with few episodes of desertion, and of course it's not South Ken here or Hampstead but many people call it home and problems are everywhere no matter where you live. I personally don't mind living in Hounslow and I wanted to say thank you for at least one positive video about this place.
My sentiments exactly. while it’s definitely not perfect, it’s also not nearly as bad as people make it out to be. And very convenient to reach other places with Heathrow just a few stops away
@@travellinglostsoul7191 so many of these walkabout videos show declining cities and boarded up shops. Here we have a bustling town centre and people just getting on with their lives. This is a pretty accurate portrayal of the town centre.
I was born and bought up in Hounslow and people like to talk down to it but this is the only town on this whole island which can truly shut its borders and survive because we have not only Heathrow airport but some of the best schools and pharmacy companies 🎉 being so close to the airport is both a positive and a negative as you will realise a lot of different cultures pass through every 10-15 year for example you had a lot of Eastern Europeans mid 2000s Asians and carribeans before that and now more Arab and East African ❤ you will find a lot undesirables late night but generally you’ll be ok as long as you keep it cool! Also Hounslow borough having to deal with Heathrow airport also makes the most money in terms of boroughs but again people at the top steal that and neglect the roads… lately though the Asian kids who grew up here are coming back from places like Dubai and ready to settle down again which is why you see vast improvements like the high street has come along way and we have more then just a few pound shops 😅😅 but hopefully soon less people renting here and more owners come back and build a community ❤
These are my sentiments as well. I’ve been here 3 years and feel totally at home now. Although there are a few negatives, they are vastly outweighed by the positives. You’re totally right about being self contained from the rest of Britain, we could literally survive alone as we have everything here. And we have kurupt fm, best garage station in the Galaxy 🤣 (if you know you know)
I was born in West Mid Hospital in the 70’s and grew up in Isleworth. In my teens you could walk home from Hounslow High St to Isleworth at night with no issues. If I tried it today then I would be a dead man. The High street was great then with most brand names - now it looks like a lot of pound shops. Such a shame how much it has deteriorated.
As a mum, I wouldn't be out and about after 6pm, unless me and kids went to a concert, my kids are 13 and 21. I was adopted and my kids are mix race. Hounslow seems lovely and areas I'd never go to would be Harrow and Wieldstone, Croydon, Southall and Woolwich
I was adopted from Bangkok by white Swedish parents when I was 6 weeks old and grew up in Sweden, speaking Swedish as my mother tounge. My kids dad, my ex, is white British. Many think I'm mix race dunno. My kids are though
Thanks so much for the video! My partner and I are moving to Hounslow soon as it is the best place in west/southwest London we can afford. I am tired of reading people trashing the place when it is actually OK. What is the best area near Hounslow centre in your view? We’ll be near the train station.
I was a kid in the 80s growing up in feltham and i dreamt of moving to hounslow. Its very cosmopolitan noew hence im planning on moving back to the borough.
I moved to Hounslow from Manchester, which I think is a move up for me! I mean , I wanted to live in London and Hounslow was affordable (just about). Twickenham, Richmond, Teddington, and Kingston are nearby. I love it!😊😊
Thanks for showling h i lived there and went to school Hounslow manor its called something els longtime a go my hometown idont care what people say i moved to USA now im 70

Heston is Awful, Hounslow is even Worse. Nice Areas in the Borough are Chiswick, Parts of Brentford, Old Isleworth. You missed out Feltham which is a blessing !
London was a great city before the migration crisis and the cost of living crisis. It is a great diverse but very expensive and complex place and a lot people who live in has to go green and less overall crowded by far car accidents and tourist attacks and stabbing incidents and so on gas to become less expensive and the cost of living crisis. Over all ok too much waste bins and toc many fines.
I was Muslim long before I moved to Heston, and actually the area isn’t very convenient for Muslims as there’s not mosque within walking distance. Hounslow Central or east is much more convenient

Best pharmacy companies? Nothing good about that.
@@Thefamousrfc70 delusional people mate, why waste your time?
Heathrow airport is in Hillingdon borough
Thank you for a positive take on Hounslow
I’ve lived here a while so I’m just reflecting my feelings of the place
@@travellinglostsoul7191 There's a deeper reason to it for me personally, but let's just say your video means a lot and is very much appreciated
I lived in Harlington hayes and Hounslow borough Isleworth area for some time, i grew up in Ealing
Now live in Spain
Small world

If I tried it today then I would be a dead man. The High street was great then with most brand names - now it looks like a lot of pound shops. Such a shame how much it has deteriorated.
While I agree to some extent. I still find Hounslow more vibrant than a lot of places.
Let's be honest, it could be worse. I know I wouldn't want to be out in Croydon, Dagenham or Edmonton late at night by myself.
Most Uk cities are not safe at night anymore sadly
Or Brixton

For food the high street has everything. Hounslow East is pretty reasonable also. You should check out lampton park also
One favour , please subscribe if you liked the video 🙏
Changed a fair bit since I lived there in the mid eighties.
Good or bad?
Lived here in the 70s before moving to the US. Love going back to visit and see family that have been there forever.
Great channel this. Hope it takes off and does well for you.👍
Thanks so much for the encouragement and positive vibes ❤️

It’s not nearly as bad as people make it out to be. I’ve been here nearly 4 years
Ive lived in hounslow for 3 years i moved to feltham last year its more quiet than hounslow
Thank you for this video. I really enjoyed it, and it was really informative. 🙂

What was Hounslow manor like?
Hounslow is ok if you speak Hundi/Urdu and dont mind the noise from Heathrow airport.
Luckily I speak both and I like aeroplanes 😁
Love Hounslow. Council building looks... too expensive :) Also, Pound Shop products are worth their worth, don't get your foodstuff there if you can.

I was just focusing on Hounslow town itself. Heston used to be ok but has gone down the toilet in the last few years
I actually miss living in Hounslow Central

i love Hounslow 😊
I like the building looks like a state of the art type of building....a bit futuristic!
It does have a bit of a spaceship look to it
If you are looking to turn muslim or hindi heston is a good area to live
I was Muslim long before I moved to Heston, and actually the area isn’t very convenient for Muslims as there’s not mosque within walking distance. Hounslow Central or east is much more convenient
Brother i was being ironic

Nah I’m good
Hounslow is a complete dump. Lots of crime including murders, and high Indian/Pakistani population.
Every town and city in the uk has crime and murder even in the SW of the UK where I now live with a population of 97% white population and what's wrong with Pakistan and Indians?
Hounslow is hoorrible. Only place worse in West London is Southall.
I don't know, what about Hayes? ;-)
Nah, Uxbridge is way worse 😅

Hounslow is fully mixed now, doesn’t belong to any demographic anymore.
INDIA
I wish it was as cheap as India
Hounslow/Heston is grim.
Needs to be walled off.
Umm, pretty hard to do that as London boroughs are just one big conurbation 😅
Oh and I assume you don’t want to utilise Heathrow airport as that also comes under Hounslow
@@travellinglostsoul7191 doesn't it comes under hillingdon
It’s a dump
Do u live here?
Worked up there and stayed in the ibis hotel, hounslow is a shit hole.
I can think of worse places
@@travellinglostsoul7191 he's not talking about crime though. Hounslow in General IS a shithole
