12 pubs from the 1990s and 2000s everyone in Hounslow, Hillingdon and Ealing will remember which sadly don't exist any more

West Londoners who enjoy a pint usually have a pub in mind when they’re asked to consider their favourite local haunt. For many, this has changed over the years as pubs struggle to stay open amid rising bills and beer taxes. Those who have lived in the boroughs of Ealing, Hounslow, and Hillingdon, may have fond memories of the boozers that used to serve punters during the 1990s up through the 2000s.

For those old enough to remember, MyLondon has taken a look back at the history books and put together a list of 12 pubs which are still looked back on fondly by drinkers. The local ale houses have since closed their doors for the last time but memories made inside their four walls outlive them.

The history of each pub is different. Some have been turned into restaurants, while others are now home to banks, a Sainsbury’s, or even completely demolished. The pubs listed have sadly closed and if you spot your old favourite be sure to let us know in the comment. Also, let us know if we have missed any.

The rising sun in Hounslow is no longer serving pints to punters

Hillingdon

Golden Lion – Long Lane

The Golden Lion was demolished in 2007 after it was sold to another pub which also couldn’t stay afloat.

Hillingdon Arms – Sutton Court Road

Another pub which has fallen victim to demolition. It was popular throughout the early 2000s.

Oak Tree – Ryefield Avenue

Demolished!

Pear Tree – Dawley Road

A block of flats has been built where the Pear Tree used to stand. A live band used to entertain fans during the 1990s.

Hounslow

The Jolly Gardener closed its doors but is missed by Hounslow locals

Earl Russell – Hanworth Road

Was turned into The Bar Bhangra which has now also closed.

The Greyhound – Hanworth Road

The Greyhound was situated on Hanworth Road. This pub has now been demolished.

Jolly Gardners – High Street

Gone but not forgotten!

Rising Sun – Cranford Lane

The pub is now used as a retail property.

Ealing

Ealing’s famous spinning wheel is now a Sainsburys

Spinning Wheel – Northfields

A favourite local pub, the Spinning Wheel was closed and converted into a Sainsbury’s Local store.

Three Pigeons – High Street

It used to be a popular local pub, and a pretty old one too with pictures of it dating back to 1904.

The Lord Coningsby – Coningsby Road

This pub closed quite a while a go, and was used as an off licence for a while afterwards so at least you could still buy alcohol.

It was then converted into flats in the 1990s, it’s pub days just a distant memory by that stage.

The Green – The Green

This pub is now used as a restaurant.
