Homes in Southall
Southall grew rapidly in the interwar period, and much of its housing is 1920s and 1930s terraces and semis, alongside some Victorian streets near the old village and Southall Green. Post-war council estates and new apartment schemes add to the mix.
The Southall Waterside development on the former gasworks is one of west London's biggest regeneration projects, bringing thousands of new homes. The Grand Union Canal runs through the area, and Heathrow flight paths are close enough for aircraft noise to matter in parts. Many Southall houses are home to large or extended families, and substantial rear and loft extensions are common. Norwood Green, to the south, has a quieter conservation area with older cottages and the parish church.
Areas we cover include Southall, Southall Green, Norwood Green, Dormers Wells.
