Heathrow Local Information
Heathrow is best known for its International Airport situated in
the London Borough of Hounslow, Middlesex. Currently housing 4 terminal
buildings with a 5th under construction the airport is one of the
busiest in the world. Heathrow is situated 15 miles west of London.
It has excellent road links and is also accessible by train and
underground.
The original airport was nothing more than a small grass airfield
in the small Hamlet of Heath Row. The hamlet was flattened in 1945
to make way for the current airport. In 1946 Heathrow airport was
nothing more than a tent where you could get your boarding pass
and have a pre-flight drink. The construction of Heathrow led to
the UK’s largest ever archaeological project during which
artefacts dating back as far as 300 BC have been uncovered.
Many blue chip firms now have their world or regional headquarters
close to Heathrow as a result of the airport’s success as
an international hub.
The nearby village of Harmondsworth still retains many old buildings.
The church of St Mary's dates from the 1100s and is constructed
of stone and flint. There is the "Mass clock", dating
from the 1200s or earlier, with flints forming a sundial that showed
the time of day. There is also an 18th century pub and several 18th
and 19th century houses.
Whether in Heathrow for business or pleasure get your van rental
from The Car Hire Company and you’ll be guaranteed of the
highest quality at a value price.
