    If it's actually in Brentford then it's miserable. There is not a lot in the actual area except offices and the M4 elevated section.

    However as others stated Ealing, Chiswick and Kew are all nearby. Just be careful what part of Ealing you decide to live in if you stay there. Traffic is horrendous in the morning rush hour.

    Sky is in Osterley which is where the Tesco's is.

M6 is a no go area on Friday afternoons. I go as far as J18. On Fridays I always used to go north via M1 and west across the A50 to Stoke. Thanks for the advice.

        It's not that bad if you hit it after 6pm. Junc 18 to west london used to take me less than 3hr on a Monday and about 3.5 on Fridays. M1 via a50 is much slower, unless the m6 is shut.
        The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

        But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”
