Woodlands is a small area found in the London Borough of Hounslow. It is located in London, between the larger areas of Hounslow and Isleworth. Woodlands is known for its quiet streets and friendly community feel.
This area gets its name, 'Woodlands', from its past. A long time ago, before houses were built here, the land was covered in fruit orchards. These orchards were like small forests of fruit trees, which is why the name 'Woodlands' fits so well!
