Myrtle Avenue Plane Spotting
TW14 9QU
Myrtle Avenue in Hounslow is one of the world’s most famous plane spotting locations, offering families the chance to watch huge aircraft fly incredibly low overhead as they approach London Heathrow Airport. At the end of this quiet residential street is a large public green space, positioned directly beneath the flight path of Heathrow’s southern runway. From the grass, you can get an amazing close-up view of aircraft landing and taking off — making it an exciting and memorable experience for children who love planes and aviation. It’s a simple, free outdoor activity that’s perfect for a spontaneous family adventure, with no tickets or booking required.
