Dist:0.3km<br/>Much of the area north of Heathrow Airport used to be used for market gardening and this field is one of the few relics of those days. In the distance a jumbo jet can be seen coming in to land.

Dist:0.3km<br/>This view has changed little over the last 50 or more years. Before the development which occurred in association with nearby Heathrow Airport and the general urban sprawl around London this was a market gardening area with country lanes connecting rural villages such as Sipson and Harmondsworth, as does this road.

Dist:0.6km<br/>View from the A4 Bath Road looking south-east. The British Airways website http://www.britishairwaysjobs.com/baweb1/?newms=info41 tells us: "Compass Centre - where Flight and Cabin Crews report for duty and their pre-flight briefing sessions. Overlooking the northern runway, the Compass Centre is also the main operational centre for flight planning and scheduling the pilot workforce."

Dist:0.7km<br/>This pub is at the junction of the A408 Sipson Road with Harmondsworth Lane. However Sipson's 700 homes, shops, pubs, small businesses and school will be buried under taxiways, terminals, concourses and car parks by 2020 if this year's government review of its 2003 Aviation White Paper approves a Third Runway at Heathrow Airport. The No Third Runway Action Group website is here http://www.notrag.org/index.php

Dist:0.8km<br/>A late mediaeval building, formerly a hall house, Grade II listed. Together with all of Sipson village this is due to be demolished if the construction of Heathrow's third runway goes ahead. There is a very strong movement against the runway development and a one acre field behind the pub has been purchased by protesters with a view to selling it off as 4000 individual plots in order to frustrate the compulsory purchase procedure.
