Heston is a suburban area of the
London Borough of Hounslow, west London. The residential settlement covers a slightly smaller area than its predecessor farming village, 10.8 miles (17.4 km) west south-west of
Charing Cross and adjoins the
M4 motorway but has no junction with it; Heston also adjoins the
Great West Road, a dual carriageway, mostly west of the 'Golden Mile' headquarters section of it.
