End of Tenancy Cleaning Hanwell W7

In 959, Hanwell was known as Hanewelle. The origin of the name is not clear. One theory says that the name comes from the Anglo-Saxon word “han” which means boundary stone. The other one states that the name derives from Han-cred-welle which means well on the boundary. This W7 area which is now the westernmost settlement of the London post town is part of the historic county of Middlesex. In the 18th century, the Uxbridge Road was built and the area became traveled. Several coaching inns that offered stables, storage, and accommodations for the night were built along the road.

Today’s Hanwell King Arms pub is most likely the first inn on the Uxbridge Road. Its original name was Spencer Arms after Edward Spencer who owned the manor of Boston. The Viaduct was another inn in this part of West London. It was known as the Coach and Horses when it opened. It was renamed after the Wharncliffe Viaduct. Parts of the original 1730 stable still stand. The Duke of Wellington was another popular Hanwell inn. Unfortunately, the building was demolished in the 1920s. It was opposite the police station. The Duke of York stagecoach inn dates from the 18th century.
