<\/figure>\n\n\n\nOnce you\u2019re settled in though, what\u2019s there to do in the surrounding area of Hounslow and beyond?
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Public Transport <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Hounslow is well-regarded for its transport connections with three tube stations (East, West and Central) all along the Piccadilly Line. The local rail station is operated by South Western, taking you into the centre of London or whisking you away to Virginia Waters for a long, weekend walk around the lakes, or Bath and Bristol for a getaway. The District Line and Overground run through nearby Chiswick and you can be in the terminal at Heathrow in less than half an hour. Coffee<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For that all-important flat white, Ground cafe at the Treaty Shopping Centre is your closest port of call and, further afield in Chiswick, you\u2019ll find the famous Ozwald Copplepot Villainously Good Coffee which comes with rave reviews not only for its coffee but for its brunches and wacky interior design (there are penguins everywhere<\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Food<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n While it\u2019s more likely that you\u2019ll dine in the countless places to eat in the centre of the city, there are also some good, local choices including the incredibly reasonable Thakers, which is a longstanding Indian Vegetarian restaurant that offers high quality, traditional dishes that fuse the owner\u2019s Ugandan-Indian heritage with a London twist. Il Bebo\u2019s Italian is fab for your straight-up, authentic Italian fare, with the addition of a great cocktail menu and a lunch menu that includes a glass of wine for less than a tenner. Parks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Stretching your legs was never prettier with a number of park and gardens in the local area, including Lampton Park, Hounslow Heath, Cranford, Osterley <\/strong>and, of course, the gorgeous Kew gardens not too far away. There\u2019s an Urban Farm at Feltham packed with activities and a rustic farm shop at Osterley with local produce. Best foot forward, then. Entertainment <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Twickenham Stadium is just down the road if sport\u2019s is your bag and there are a number of local pubs with live music, including the Cross Lances (complete with retro pool table). There\u2019s a large Cineworld in nearby Feltham, as well as a couple of good bowling alleys such as Tenpin and Airport Bowling. If nightclubs are your scene, Club K holds regular weeklies and events. Check out <\/em>Charter Place<\/em><\/a> apartments \u2013 and don\u2019t forget we can help find <\/em>your perfect flatmate<\/em><\/a> to share it with.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Just 200m from the Piccadilly Line taking you into central London within 45 minutes, and just a stone\u2019s throw from Heathrow Airport (15 mins), Charter Place is a premium collection of managed properties that offer comfort, convenience and style. Charter Place has everything you need and more, including a 24\/7 service team, private gardens, onsite … <\/p>\n
