Where to Stay in Feltham, England

What is Feltham known for?

Caesar's Camp, Heathrow, a Romano-British site by East Bedfont and part of a causewayed enclosure near Mayfield Farm all lie within reach of Feltham, which gives this corner of West London a far longer record than its streets suggest. Kempton Steam Museum holds the machinery. The General Roy Monument is the other named marker.

What are the main landmarks in Feltham?

Church buildings fill most of Feltham's list. St James's Church, the Parish Church of St Matthew, the Church of All Saints, the Church of St Paul, the Church of St Mary and St Philip and St James Church cover the parishes, with the tower and spire of the former Church of St Catherine left standing on their own. Houses account for the rest.

Feltham House, Bedfont House, Burlington House, Hanworth Park House and Stansfield House, Hounslow survive under their names, and Kempton Steam Museum keeps the machinery.

What is the history of Feltham?

Middlesex came first. Feltham sat in that county until 1965, when the London Borough of Hounslow took it in, and the older name still explains why the town reads as a place of its own rather than a district of West London. The record runs much further back.

Part of a causewayed enclosure near Mayfield Farm and a Romano-British site by East Bedfont put people on this ground long before any parish existed. Caesar's Camp, Heathrow belongs to that early layer. The parishes came later, and St James's Church, the Church of St Dunstan, the Church of St Mary and the Parish Church of St Matthew mark the settlements that grew across the ground between Feltham, Hanworth and East Bedfont.

One church left only its tower and spire. The former Church of St Catherine survives that way, while Hanworth Park House, Burlington House and Feltham House carry the estate names, and the General Roy Monument stands apart from all of them. Kempton Steam Museum records the industrial end of it.

Feltham and Heston names the parliamentary constituency.

Where is Feltham?

West London holds it. Feltham lies 13.5 miles from Charing Cross, inside the London Borough of Hounslow, with Hanworth on one side and East Bedfont on the other, and Heathrow beyond that edge of the borough. Mayfield Farm marks the open ground.

Hounslow itself stands close enough that the two towns run together at their margins.

What is the climate of Feltham?

Little of the year turns severe. Feltham shares the temperate weather of West London, and the open ground toward Heathrow and Mayfield Farm leaves the town much the same as the rest of the borough from one season to the next. Indoor days are covered.

Kempton Steam Museum, the Parish Church of St Matthew and Hanworth Park House take the grey ones.

How do you get to Feltham?

Charing Cross fixes the scale. Feltham lies 13.5 miles from it, close enough that arrival counts as a London journey and far enough out that the town keeps its own name, with Hounslow, Hanworth and East Bedfont on the approaches. Heathrow sits at the same edge of the borough.

Travellers coming from that side reach Feltham before they reach central London.
