New Overground link could cut Hounslow-to-Hendon journey by 30 minutes
3 October 2026 · By Boroughly editorial — AI-assisted, human-reviewed.
Residents who live, work or travel in the Hounslow area are being invited to share their views on a proposed new London Overground service connecting Hounslow with Hendon — a route that, if approved, could shave around 30 minutes off what is currently a slow cross-London trip.
The consultation is open now and is relevant to Chiswick residents who regularly travel north or east across the capital, particularly those heading towards Brent or Barnet. At present, journeys between Hounslow and Hendon typically require at least one change and considerable time on the Underground; a direct Overground service would represent a meaningful upgrade for commuters and leisure travellers alike.
Hounslow Council is encouraging anyone who lives, works or travels in the borough to respond, meaning Chiswick residents — who fall within the borough boundary — are squarely within the intended audience for this consultation.
Details of the proposal, including how to submit a response, are available on the council's website. No closing date for responses has been published in the announcement, so residents are advised to check the council page and respond promptly.
