Car wheel clamping in Hounslow and Southall

Hounslow is associated in the minds of many people with the underground station on the Piccadilly Line on the way to and from Heathrow International Airport. It is one of those many places that used to be farming localities and eventually, by ill fortune, the giant and growing metropolis (or megapolis) of London swallowed it up. Nowadays, it is essentially a housing and shopping place with its population heavily composed of persons still lucky enough to have jobs living there and commuting to their work in Central London most by public transport and especially the Piccadilly Line.

The proximity to the great airport is one of the most prominent features of Hounslow. Anybody, even casual visitors, can notice the huge forms of civilian aircraft flying slowly and low over the rooftops on their way to land, else with noses up powering their way into the lower stratosphere.

The airport has given rise to the rise of the hotel industry in Hounslow. Without Heathrow Airport there would probably be many fewer hotels there.

It is almost a matter of common sense that all these people leaving the United Kingdom on mostly short-term travel engagements (business and/or pleasure) want to park their motor cars somewhere where there is no stinging bill for parking on return. The temptation to park on some inoffensive person’s property who can’t do anything about it makes car wheel clamping in Hounslow and Southall recommendable – for people owning property in those parts.

Southall, situated slightly to the north-west of Hounslow, is now somewhat incongruously named after the Anglo-Saxon æt súð healum which translates roughly as ‘the south corner of the land/wood.’

There is almost nothing to remind one of whatever woodland had a south corner there these days. If anything, it is exactly the opposite.

Southall boasts the largest Indian population outside India in the world.

People, and particularly South Asians, travel to Southall with two ends in view:

• To eat in one of the many Asian restaurants and cafes
• To visit their relatives

As parking is limited on the streets in this concentrated place and parking spaces on the driveways of the aforesaid relatives are limited too there is the temptation to park on somebody else’s private property – especially if the somebody else can’t do anything about it.

Therefore, we say consider car wheel clamping in Hounslow and Southall.
