Located in the western part of Greater London, West Drayton sits within the London Borough of Hillingdon and lies immediately east of the Buckinghamshire border. The area is known for its proximity to major transport hubs, notably London Heathrow Airport, and has seen a surge in popularity due to the arrival of the Elizabeth Line. Historically, West Drayton developed as a rural village surrounded by farmland but grew quickly in the 20th century with the expansion of the Great Western Railway.
