Map & location
Overview
W13 0SU sits at the heart of Hanwell Broadway, the bustling high-street core of Hanwell in the London Borough of Ealing. The Broadway itself is lined with independent shops, cafés, supermarkets and service businesses, giving the area a lively, community-focused character that sets it apart from more residential pockets of West 13. Neighbouring streets include the Uxbridge Road to the east and the quieter avenues running towards the River Brent and Hanwell's well-known canal locks to the south-west.
The surrounding area blends Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing with later 20th-century infill, attracting a diverse mix of families, young professionals and long-established residents. Green spaces such as Brent Lodge Park (home to the beloved Bunny Park animal centre) and the landscaped grounds around Hanwell's Wharncliffe Viaduct offer easy escapes from urban life, while good bus connections and proximity to the Elizabeth line make W13 0SU an increasingly popular address in west London.

Getting here
Hanwell Broadway is well served by buses along the Uxbridge Road, one of west London's principal arterial routes, with frequent services connecting the area to Ealing, Southall, Shepherd's Bush and beyond. Cycling infrastructure along the Uxbridge Road corridor and quieter back-street routes gives cyclists reasonable access to neighbouring centres. The Grand Union Canal towpath nearby also provides a traffic-free leisure route westward. Parking on and around the Broadway is available at on-street bays and a small public car park, though spaces can be limited during peak shopping hours.
What it's famous for
Hanwell is best known locally for the Wharncliffe Viaduct, the magnificent Grade I listed railway viaduct designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and completed in 1838 — one of the earliest and most impressive examples of railway engineering in Britain. The area is also famous for Brent Lodge Park, affectionately nicknamed the Bunny Park, a family favourite housing a small animal centre. Hanwell's historic locks on the Grand Union Canal are popular with walkers and boating enthusiasts, and the Uxbridge Road has long been a vibrant multicultural high street reflecting Ealing's diverse communities.
