Hanworth is a residential area in the south of the borough, between Feltham and Sunbury. It has a long history: Hanworth Park House stands in the park that once held the London Air Park aerodrome. Today it is a family neighbourhood close to two major roads, the A316 and the A312, which meet at Apex Corner.

The A316 is the main route north-east towards Twickenham and London, and the A312 runs north towards Feltham and Heathrow. Apex Corner, where they meet, gets very busy at peak times, and drivers often use local roads through the estates to avoid the queue. Hounslow Road and Twickenham Road are the main links into the centre of Hanworth.
Many streets around Hanworth Park are cul-de-sacs or closes, which can be confusing for drivers who do not know the area. A house number and postcode, plus any useful landmark, helps the driver find you first time.
