Welcome to Hayes End. This is a guide to the Hayes End area.

Taxi heads for the airport. If a third runway is built for Heathrow then Harlington could be demolished. Hence the "no Third Runway" notice in a front garden.

Dist:1.0km south<br/>The London Director telephone area (that is director not directory http://www.rhaworth.myby.co.uk/phreak/tenp_uk.htm#dirdefn ) was rigidly defined as all exchanges within 12½ miles of Oxford Circus - with one exception: SKYport exchange serving Heathrow and Harlington is, by my measurement, 12.757 miles (20.53 km) from Oxford Circus. They bent the boundary because of the high traffic volumes between the airport and central London. The exchange, seen here from outside [[71840]] is on the corner of the Bath Road and North Hatton Road.

Dist:1.0km south<br/>Between the perimeter road and the A4 Bath Road. It has displays including arrivals and departures screens so it is possible to watch planes taking off or landing, knowing their airlines and origins or destinations.

Dist:1.0km north<br/>This area was once an under-utilised park next to Shepiston Lane and the M4 Motorway, but in 2001 it was planted with more than 5,000 native trees and shrubs by the then Trees for London organization, (now Trees for Cities), as a pollution barrier between this busy road and the residential area next to it, which includes two schools and a community centre. Mosaic sculptures, such as the one in the image, have also been installed at the site, and were designed by community artist Friedel Buecking, with the help of local school children. The Trees for Cities website is here http://treesforlondon.org.uk/default.asp (Incidentally there is an extraordinary amount of confusion about the surname of the person after whom the area is named. I have used Philps as it is shown on the plaques on the mosaics, and on the Trees for London website, but Hillingdon Council use Phelp, Philp and Philps on different pages on their website, Hillingdon Business Education Partnership use Phelps, Streetmap use Philip, the London Assembly have Phelps, Philip and Philps, the Ordnance Survey have Philp, and the Hillingdon Times have Philips.) Update, January 2008: A visitor to the site has e-mailed me to ask me if I am aware that this area was/is always referred to locally as The Bunny Fields or The Bunnies. She says "I lived about 10 mins walk away from The Bunnies from my birth in 1966 on and off until 1989, and went to Pinkwell Primary and Harlington Secondary Schools - both practically next to The Bunnies. For 5 of those years I walked my dog there practically every single day, and the fields were an incredibly important place in my childhood and teen years. I just think this name for the fields should be recorded by your project - I never once heard the area referred to as Sam Phelps - EVERYONE called it The Bunny Fields! (Though I never once saw a rabbit there - only water rats!)"

Dist:1.0km north<br/>Situated off St Peter's Way, there has been a church on this site since 1086 as the vicar is mentioned in the Domesday Book. On the left is the War Memorial.
