Hounslow/Isleworth is a neighbourhood that celebrates its diverse cultures and architecture. This includes a historic walking tour including the one-time home to Sir Joseph Banks (Exploring Spring Grove), followed by a journey of civic structures from the Victorian (Isleworth Public Hall with an exhibition presented by the Hounslow & District History Society) to the contemporary (Hounslow House with a photo essay and conversation with architects Sheppard Robson and developers Link City). Other aspects of Hounslow’s rich cultural mix will be on display at the Hounslow Jamid Masjid and Islamic Centre and Hounslow's Sri Guru Singh Sabha Gurdwara, and there is also architecture that responds to a unique Hounslow environment - an outside rammed earth play area for the children of the Hounslow Heath Infant and Nursery School that lowers the noise from aircraft landing at Heathrow.
