About
Brands Hill is a village in Berkshire, England. It is just on the outskirts of Colnbrook on Bath Road, adjacent to the Langley junction of the M4 motorway. It has grown from a few houses and has never been a historical village. The area is significant for its connecting through road, the Colnbrook bypass, which runs through the heart of Brands Hill, linking the M4, and Heathrow airport. Many of the inhabitants work at Heathrow Airport, and the Royal Mail Depot.
Brands Hill was previously home to a public house on Bath Road, known as the Queen's Arms before its closure but historically known as The Crown Inn, it has been the site of a pub since at least the 18th century. A pub known as The Plough, which was a landmark on the bus routes from Hounslow to Slough, previously existed on London Road and was demolished to make way for a Holiday Inn Express. Colnbrook Garage was previously located at the junction of Bath Road and London Road, and was demolished to make way for flats.
