In 1965, Hayes UDC was integrated into the London Borough of Hillingdon (LBH) and the hall was eventually supplanted by the new Civic Centre in Uxbridge as main council office.

In the late eighteenth century it was home to Alderman Harvey Combe, elected Lord Mayor of London in 1799.

The main building within the grounds is a grade-two listed manor house, which was at one time the town hall for Hayes and Harlington.

Hayes town centre is approximately 1 km away, with its many other regular bus services.
