Title: Things to do / transport links into London near Hayes (west London)
Post by: PDT on July 03, 2012, 07:56:55 pm
Going on a trip this weekend to one of our dealers that have opened a new branch in Hayes, London. family are tagging along so while I am mapping a few cars on the dyno they want a day out.

This will be my first visit and have never been to Hayes so wondered what there is to do there (i.e good shopping centres)  and what the transport links are like into London. Even good parks for a day out if the weather is nice.

Dave.

Bullet/stab proof vest is good. ;) Otherwise jump on the tube and London is a big enough place to do almost whatever fills a woman's boots. Plenty for the kids as well. You'll have the Westfield shopping centre at Hammersmith if you wanted somenwhere dry.

^^^ Haha!

Not a lot I can think of to do in Hayes. There are two big Tesco stores! I would jump on the tube and go into London. Westfield at White City isn't too far

I used to live in Hayes. Dead place! Got a big tesco and sainsburys. You could go to uxbridge where you got chimes shopping centre and pavilion centre next to each other. 607 bus goes straight there. 607 also goes to Westfield in white city.

Hayes is a dump. As others have said already, go into central London or Uxbridge for shopping.
