Dist:0.7km south<br/>This is the road that leads from Hounslow station to the town centre. The bus on Route 281 started from Hounslow Bus Station (close to Hounslow East LT station) and is destined for Tolworth Broadway.

Dist:0.7km south<br/>The badly-faded sign seems to depict a very early railway locomotive. I believe 'North Star' was the name of an early broad-gauge locomotive on the Great Western railway, so it would not have run in Hounslow, which was not reached by the railway until 1850, by which time locomotive design had progressed well beyond that of the machine depicted here.

Dist:0.7km south<br/>Looking west from the London end, this ives a good overall impression of this suburban station. One can actually travel to Waterloo from either platform here, as many of the Down trains return there via Twickenham and Kingston. Up trains reach Waterloo via Brentford.

Dist:0.7km south<br/>Looking northeast from the London end of the station we see a long lattice-girder footbridge, which runs through from Maswell Park Road on the south side to Ivy Road on the north, but which cannot be accessed directly from either platform. Further on is a road bridge carrying Heath Road, an unclassified suburban road.

Dist:0.7km south<br/>Taken from Platform 2 this shows that only the Up platform (No 1) has a canopy.

Dist:0.7km south<br/>This is the ex-LSWR station, later British Railways. The road bridge just west of the station carries Whitton Road, part of the B361 from Hounslow to Twickenham. Hounslow town centre is about half a mile north of this station, and is nearer to the London Transport station, Hounslow Central.

Dist:0.9km north<br/>Despite its size, the Civic Centre is not visible from Lampton Road, it is slightly off-set from the main road and hidden by an ugly car park and some welcome trees and shrubs.

Dist:1.0km east<br/>The students at Borough Road Teacher Training College, used to hold a college rag (parade) in order to raise money for charity. Marching Bands & Floats walked all the way from the college in Isleworth through Hounslow and back collecting money on the way. The photo shows the returning parade passing Morgan & Son Ltd. builders merchants just East of Hounslow Bus Garage in 1961.
