The Grand Union Canal in Hayes
(Picture: Adrian Lourie)Once famous for hit records, baked beans, and jars of instant coffee, billions are being spent on the rebirth of Hayes & Harlington which is currently the cheapest area on Crossrail’s western section.
Its factories, warehouses, and car parks are being repurposed as new homes in developments like The Old Vinyl Factory, where 642 new homes are being on the 17-acre former home of EMI records which is less than a ten-minute walk to the station.
