Gillette Corner is a crossroad between the A4 and B454 roads, on the border between Osterley and Brentford in West London, and is part of the Great West Road's "Golden Mile". It is home to the former headquarters of the Gillette Company, a grade II listed Art Deco style building. The surrounding area, which is also known as Syon Lane, named after the name of the B454 as it crosses the A4 at Gillette Corner, is home to a Tesco hypermarket and nearby Syon Lane railway station. The nearest tube stations are Boston Manor and Osterley, and it is served by the H91 and H28 bus routes.
The Bonnington Group have been granted planning permission by the London Borough of Hounslow to develop the 1930s Art Deco Grade II listed Gillette building into a hotel and business park, which will add to the West Cross industrial estate, of which Gillette Corner lies at the west end. However, these plans have not yet been approved by the Mayor of London.[1]
