Weekly Wind-Up #2256 2256 ? 9 July 2026 HANWELL (HAN) The Fox, 77 Green Lane, Hanwell, London. W7 2PJ We last visited Hanwell in 2019 when we went to The Grosvenor for the third time, but we now try a second new venue for this sheet when we visit today. The Fox is a welcoming local less than a minute from the Grand Union canal and is a favourite with canal walkers, cyclists, and dog walkers. Originally a Royal Brewery house, the pub was saved from the developers in 2001 and has won the branch Pub of the Year award on many occasions since. The pub changed hands and was refurbished in 2020, extending the pub into the garden and creating a new partly covered large outdoor seating area. A dark beer has been requested for our visit, but also note that Ealing Beer Festival is on this week, where there will be many dark beers amongst the offerings. The festival is in Walpole Park, Ealing, from where buses 207, 483 or E8 provide regular services to Hanwell.
