Open Homes workspaceAbout Brentford
Brentford sits where the River Brent meets the Thames and has been a crossing and trading place since early times. Its waterside location made it important for river trade, brewing, market gardening and later canalside industry, especially around the Grand Union Canal. The Battle of Brentford was fought during the English Civil War in 1642. Today Brentford combines historic waterside streets, new apartments, the Brentford Community Stadium and quick access to Kew, Chiswick and central London, creating a strong west London rental market.
