The borough is home to Heathrow Airport. Hayes is strategically positioned just minutes from the M4, M25 and M40 interchanges.

Hillingdon is a largely affluent area. Of the total working population 76% of males and 65% of females are economically active, 50% of which are in top levels of employment in managerial positions, professional or technical industries or highly skilled trades (UK Census 2011).

The Guru Nanak Sikh Schools site is also located close by on Beaconsfield Road.

Hayes has excellent accessibility by road with Junction 4 of the M4 located 4.5 miles to the south of the property along the A312 (the Parkway).

Trains also run to Acton, Ealing, Southall, West Drayton, and further afield to Oxford via Reading, Swindon, Bristol and Southampton all within 2 hours. Crossrail will begin operating from Hayes and Harlington in 2018 and will substantially reduce travel times to central London.
