Norwood Green - Transport

Transport

Three Bridges (a transport intersection, designed and built by the Victorian engineer, Isambard Kingdom Brunel) in the north-east corner, is claimed as an ancient monument. It is located where north-south running Windmill Lane goes over the Grand Union Canal as it "flows" West-East towards the Thames at Brentford and where the canal goes over the single track, freight only, railway line running from the main Great Western Railway line to its end just north of the A4 trunk road. There are in fact just "two" bridges at "Three Bridges" (the road over the canal bridge and the canal over the railway bridge) but they are stacked one above another with the road on top of the canal which is on top of the railway which is in a deep cutting at this point. There are weight and width restrictions on the road bridge.

The nearest underground station is Osterley tube station on the Piccadilly line, which is 30–40 minutes walk from Norwood Green. Via the underground it take 20 minutes to arrive at Heathrow Airport (Westbound) 40 minutes to Central London. London Buses provide the 120 bus service along Norwood Road with a stop at the Green itself. Buses run every 10–12 minutes during the day and every 20 minutes or so during the evening. The H32 bus service runs through the Western edge of Norwood Green ward (Hounslow East to Southall Town Hall). Northwards it is a mile and half to Southall overground railway station (First Great Western to Ealing Broadway (5 minutes) and Paddington (15 minutes); Slough; Reading and Oxford plus Heathrow Connect trains serving Heathrow Airport and local stations to Paddington).

The M4 motorway is accessed at Junction 2 for Central London and Junction 3 for Heathrow and Bristol. The A40 "Western Avenue" to the north and the A4 to the south are the nearest east-west trunk roads.
