Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 51 reviews
Hampton & Kempton Waterworks Railway, sometimes known as the 'secret railway', is the only operational 1915 heritage steam narrow-gauge railway ‘loop’ within the M25. The railway has a fascinating heritage story to tell of supplying clean drinking water to London in the early 1900s and is set against the backdrop of the magnificent Kempton Steam Museum, housing the world’s largest 1,000-ton pumping engine. With plenty of parking, countryside picnic tables and play area with a children's static train, it's a great day out for families, friends, and enthusiasts of steam. Check our websites for details of our exciting events programme from March to November Sundays only. Railway diesel locomotive operating until May/June.
4. Bedfont Lakes Country Park

This was a wonderful discovery. There is extensive green space, surrounding attractive lakes. There are open spaces and secluded corners; there is some contouring. You can walk, run, sit, play. There is a small information centre (closed when we were there), and what may be a weekend petting zoo. Hounslow Council maintain it quite beautifully. Highly recommended.
5. Osterley Park and House
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 555 reviews
A short hop from central London by tube, Osterley is one of the last surviving country estates in London. Explore the House as it would have looked in the late 17th century, as well as the surrounding formal Gardens (including children's playtrail) and parkland. The House and Gardens are open 11am - 4pm, with the park open 7am-7pm. Don't miss the Stables Café, well-stocked National Trust Shop, and second-hand bookshop.

Fantastic trip, beautiful formal gardens to walk around. Didnt have to book for the carpark and they said they could squeeze us in without a prebooking for the formal gardens. Beautiful woodland walk and formal flower gardens to wonder around. They said house should be open next month! We'll be back to check it out.

My friend and I have been visiting this farm for coming up a year with our little ones- the staff are great with kids, the interactions with animals are closely supervised and the events organised are great for families. I have recommended this farm to so many people who have then enjoyed visiting themselves.

My first visit and had the Arroz Caldo as a complimentary dish for traveling with Philippine Airlines. I also had some excellent Chicken, bacon and white bean stew. Ioana is a great cook and the whole team made me feel welcome. It’s hard to keep smiling with such a turn over of grumpy travellers but they do keep the place clean and topped up with freshly prepared food. If you fancy Arroz Caldo they have it for the daily flight to Manila so I think it’s only in the evenings. Ioana made sure I didn’t go hungry and also served me with an excellent biscuit and and coffee cake.
8. Hounslow Heath

I almost let some of these reviews put me off visiting Hounslow Heath for the first time, but I’m so glad I didn’t! Even in early November there’s so much to see. Bright red fruit on hawthorn, blackberries still with a few blossoms, a lovely old oak tree and Sussex cattle grazing in their own field. The council and the volunteers are doing a great job of looking after this historic remnant of what was once a vast heathland. I will be visiting again in the future as I want to see it throughout the seasons.
