What it's famous for
Hanwell is perhaps best known for the Hanwell Viaduct (also called the Wharncliffe Viaduct), a magnificent Grade I listed railway structure designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and completed in 1838 — one of the finest examples of Victorian railway engineering in England. The area is also associated with Charlie Chaplin, who spent time as a child at the Central London District School for Paupers, a former institution in Hanwell. The Brent Valley Golf Course and the historic Hanwell Zoo (Brent Lodge Animal Centre) within Brent Lodge Park are beloved local landmarks.
