Hounslow is privileged and honoured to mark the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, as she departs London for her final resting place at St George’s Chapel, Windsor.
With many road closures in place for the Queen’s funeral on Monday, 19 September, residents and visitors to Hounslow are being urged to follow local travel advice to help ensure the day goes as smoothly as possible.
The funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will take place at Westminster Abbey at 11am. Following the service, the coffin will leave Westminster Abbey for Windsor, travelling through the London Borough of Hounslow via the A4 Great West Road.
We know that many residents of Hounslow will want to witness the historic occasion and pay their respects to the monarch as the cortege moves through the borough. The Council and its partners are working hard to make it as safe and accessible as possible for people to do this. We are also working hard to manage the impact on the transport network and surrounding area while road closures are in place.
It is expected that the procession route through Hounslow will be extremely busy. The Council is urging everyone who will be attending to plan their journey in advance, travel on foot or by public transport if possible and observe all regulations that have been put in place for everyone’s safety.
