Hounslow 014 is a densely populated corner of Hounslow, London, home to around 12,165 people. A typical two-bedroom flat lets for about £1,900 a month — considerably above the UK average, though broadly in line with the outer-London norm.

Syon Green is a green, lower-density part of Hounslow — parks within walking distance of most addresses, a slower weekday rhythm, and a population skewed toward longer-tenure households rather than transient renters. A high share of adults are degree-educated, which often shows up in the kind of jobs people commute to.

Syon Green in Hounslow
Living in Syon Green
This part of Hounslow sits in the outer-west London belt, where the borough's suburban character gives way to a denser mix of housing and a genuinely diverse population. Around 40% of residents work from home — one of the higher work-from-home rates you'll find in outer London — which shapes the feel of the streets during the day: cafés and local shops stay busy, the pace is steadier than in the inner zones.
Rents here are firmly mid-range by London standards. A two-bedroom flat runs about £1,900 a month, which is roughly 60% above the UK national median for the same size but markedly below the central-London premium. One-bedroom flats come in around £1,550, and three-bedrooms around £2,200. That puts the neighbourhood in the more accessible tier of the London rental market, though rent-to-take-home ratios still look stretched — a median earner here is committing a very large share of net pay to housing.
Owner-occupation is more common than you might expect at 46%, with private renters making up around 27% and social tenants roughly 23%. That relatively even tenure split tends to produce stable, mixed communities rather than the transient feel of heavily rented inner-city zones. Just over 60% of residents were born in the UK, and the ethnic diversity index of 59 reflects a genuinely mixed neighbourhood — one of the more diverse pockets in west London.
Degree-level qualifications are held by nearly half of residents (47.5%), which skews the demographic profile toward working professionals and established families. The 35–49 age group is the largest single cohort at nearly 28%, and households with couples and children account for around one in four homes. For the right buyer or renter, this has the feel of a settled, family-oriented neighbourhood with strong transport links — see the streets and sub-areas below for more.
