Hanwell station is on the original line of the Great Western Railway which opened on 4th June 1838, although Hanwell station opened on 1st December 1838. The station was renamed Hanwell and Elthorne on 1st April 1896, and reverted to Hanwell on 6th May 1974. The station was re-built in the 1870s and is grade II listed. On platform 2 is a station nameboard still bearing the pre-1974 name Hanwell and Elthorne - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4109136 In this view from the end of Platform 2, the two fast lines are to the right while the two slow lines are to the left. The line curving away to the left leads to the Drayton Green branch line although passenger trains do not use this spur.

Hanwell Community Library is part of the Carnegie legacy in the London Borough of Ealing. It has been serving Hanwell since 1905. In 2019 Ealing Council passed the responsibility for the day to day running of this and several other neighbourhood libraries to the community. This branch is run by Ealing Law Centre which occupies the same building.

Built as a family home in the 1830s, this house was used as Council offices from 1892, and as a Health Centre from 1927. To the right can be seen the Hanwell Library which functioned as Hanwell Urban District Council offices from 1905 to 1926.
