Why it's Wildland
4.6Between the Grand Union Canal and a railway line, Jubilee Meadow forms part of a linked stretch of meadows that offers a quieter, greener way to explore this part of west London. Follow the paths through the meadows, then continue along the towpath if you want a longer walk.
Its appeal is a pocket of open meadow and canal-side walking tucked into an urban landscape: a locally distinctive place to slow down, picnic and explore on foot, with the wider Hanwell Meadows offering room to extend the outing.
