Quiet area with mainly families that live in the area.
Quiet area with mainly families that live in the area. Hayes has very good transport links. To paddington takes 20 mins by train. Heathrow Airport is 10 minutes. This town is great for commuters. Hayes has great schools. Hayes is a very multi-cultural town. It has different restaurants and shops from different countries. Middle easten supermarket to chinese supermarket.

I'm sitting here overlooking a farm ...
... Down the bottom of the lane is another farm. Behind my house are woods and fields. I'm also just a 5 minute walk away from the 207 and 607 buses that run from Shepherd's Bush to Uxbridge. Hayes is the place for me!

Excellent place to live with brilliant transport links to anywhere ...
... M3, M4, M40, M25, with Central Piccadilly and Met lines just up the road. Plus the 607 Express to Uxbridge or Shepherd's Bush, with a tram link on the way and Australia's just a ten minute bus ride to Heathrow.
Good pubs, clubs, cafes, Indian restaurants with Southall being just up the road. Hayes town is about to be redeveloped around the station, so plenty of work. Why house prices are so cheap I'll never know. The only place I have lived where I meet the local MP on a regular basis who has a passion for the area.

Hayes is a fantastic place to live. It has been my home for 51 years and I wouldn't live anywhere else ...
... Hayes has excellent transport links; rail, bus, air and road (including motorways) are all well provided. I work in central London and the bus and rail links are first rate.
I enjoy the cosmopolitan and lively nature of Hayes, there is such a good mix of diversity and cultures. The local facilities are great too, we have a sports stadium; swimming pool, Bowling Green, leisure gardens, theatre and cinema, and libraries, local markets, nature reserves, boating marina, bingo halls and golf are all easily accessible by private or public transport.

It's a FANTASTIC place to live ...
I have lived in the Dawley Road area of Hayes for the last six years. It's a FANTASTIC place to live. Excellent connections to anywhere you want to go- central London only 10 minutes by train, Heathrow 10 minutes by bus, Uxbridge just down the road. Brunel University is close by, two shopping centers in Uxbridge, plus a GBP50 million regeneration programme for Hayes!

I have lived in Lansbury Drive in Hayes for fifty years...
I think it is a brilliant place to live, open fields, playgrounds, nice people, well served by buses and a bus ride to Central Line, Met and Piccadilly lines and Hayes mainline station.

Hayes is close to central London...
45 mins from kingston, 25 mins from Windsor. Uxbridge is just 10 mins down the road, and has two shopping centres. I think the Uxbridge road is the only road I know where you can get a solicitor to a chinese take away!

We have lived in Hayes for nearly 3 years now...
Hayes is very convenient for travelling into London, out of London and for Heathrow and compared to Hounslow, the disruption of air traffic (the noise) is minimal. Hayes town centre has absolutely nothing though and if this would change (better shops, banks, etc.) Hayes would be a great place to live.

Very close to all transport links...
...15 minutes from Paddington by train & 10 minutes drive from M4, M40 & M25.
Hayes Town Centre itself isn't much to write home about but there are plans submitted for a £50m regeneration programme.

Good transport links, but poor high street and shops. Vey working-class area.

Hayes is close to Heathrow and the major motorway networks - M4, M40 and M25...
Trains to and from London can be as quick as 18mins and also run 24hrs a day.
Properties are reasonable value. The only real downside is some lack of community spirit.
