About Syon Lane Station


The Southern Railway opened Syon Lane station 81 years after the line, in 1931.

Syon Lane formerly had several grand villas, including Wyke House, which became a private lunatic asylum in the 19th century, and the Duke of Marlborough’s Syon Hill. Sports grounds and their clubhouses now dominate the northern part of the lane, with football clubs on the west side and rugby clubs on the east. Beyond these are the compact Wyke Green and the much larger Wyke Green golf course, on the edge of Osterley Park.

Syon Lane is bisected by the A4 Great West Road at Gillette Corner and Brentford’s main business district lies east of this junction, near which there’s a superstore and a small shopping parade. Syon Lane station, on the Hounslow loop line, is located to the south-east.

The nearby iconic factory was designed in 1937 by the relatively undistinguished architect Sir Banister Fletcher, when he was 71. Nikolaus Pevsner wrote dismissively of its “incongruous, timidly modernistic grandeur” – but it outshines most commercial structures. Since the original owners moved production to eastern Europe the building has lain empty and various grand plans for its future have repeatedly come to nothing.
