Isleworth is a helpful yet fun community to be a part of. It has easy access to all of London, with Syon Lane train station, Isleworth train station, Osterley tube station and Hounslow East tube station. A walk away is Osterley, lovely area with superb cafes, big homes and the wonderful, Osterley Park. Fields of lush green, carpeting the grounds, with Osterley House, this beautiful Georgian country estate is the place to be. So many TV programmes have been filmed here such as numerous episodes of 'Horrible Histories', scenes for 'Doctor Who', 'Chuckle Vision', 'The Young Victoria', 'Top Secret!' and 'The Dark Knight Rises'. However if you like a little bit of retail therapy, you can take a trip to Hounslow high street, where many shops and restaurants are based. Even a mall 'The Treaty Centre', has some great shops inside, which is also located on the high street. The local's top favourite shops and restaurants here are, Topshop, New Look, Dunkin' Donuts, Nandos and newly opened Creams, H&M and Next with a Patisserie Valerie inside. With also near by schools, specialist schools and independent schools (secondary/primary), many with Ofsted rating outstanding. On the other hand, a few celebrities also come round here to shop and eat, due to the privacy. Isleworth is really a diamond in the rough.

Isleworth is a small town of Saxon origin sited within the London Borough of Hounslow in west London. It lies immediately east of the town of Hounslow and west of the River Thames and its tributary the River Crane. Isleworth's original area of settlement, alongside the Thames, is known as 'Old Isleworth'. The north-west corner of the town, bordering on Osterley to the north and Lampton to the west, is known as 'Spring Grove'. Isleworth's former Thames frontage of approximately one mile, excluding that of the Syon estate, was reduced to little over half a mile in 1994 when a borough boundary realignment was effected in order to unite the district of St Margarets wholly within London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. As a result, Isleworth's boundary with the Thames is now almost entirely overshadowed by the nine-acre islet of Isleworth Ait. The River Crane flows into the Thames south of the Ait, and its distributary the Duke of Northumberland's River west of the Ait.
