Hayes | UB3

In one line: Heritage-led canal-side living on the former Nestlé factory site — 9 acres of green space, a residents' gym and running track, with the Elizabeth Line at the end of the road.

Picture this: Wake up to canal views from your private balcony, head down to the residents' gym before walking the towpath of the Grand Union Canal, then a 8-minute stroll to Hayes & Harlington Station for the Elizabeth Line — Heathrow in 8 minutes for a long weekend, or Bond Street in 31 for the office. Weekends mean Stockley Park, Osterley Park & House (19 mins by car) or Little Venice on the canal in 20 minutes.

The area: Hayes, Middlesex (UB3), in the London Borough of Hillingdon — the capital's "greenest borough" with 12 consecutive Green Flag Awards. The site was Sandow's Cocoa Factory in 1914 (later the home of Milkybar and Nescafé under Nestlé from 1929 to 2015), now reborn as Hayes Village. Surrounded by the Grand Union Canal and 21 km of towpaths in Hillingdon alone.
