West Twyford (also known as Twyford Abbey)[1] is a small residential area forming a northeastern corner of the London Borough of Ealing directly northeast of Hanger Lane station and north of Park Royal, south of the London Borough of Brent and the River Brent.

A small community built up to the west around St Mary's Church which had originally been a chapel belonging to the manor house.

[citation needed] Abbeyfields Close is one such residential development, built in 1984 around a series of communal gardens, on land formerly owned by Guinness.

In the 1950s the chapel of St Mary's was extended with a new large church building, which later fell into disrepair and disuse, due to safety issues.

[citation needed] Bus route 226 runs through Twyford Abbey Road towards Ealing Central and Golders Green (via Harlesden).

A new building is going up at the moment on Acton Lane next to the Central Middlesex Hospital which will have retail and restaurant space on the ground floor.

[10] West Twyford Park was formerly called Bodiam Fields, after the area of the same name in Sussex, where hops were grown for the Guinness brewery.

[citation needed] There are plans for improvements to West Twyford Park as well as new lakeside walks and cycle paths nearby.

[citation needed] St Mary’s Church Community Hall, on Brentmead Gardens provides a range of activities for local people.

In the Mayor's plans for the Park Royal Opportunity Area, it says that one of their objectives is to obtain public access to the grounds of Twyford Abbey heritage site.
