Welcome To The Fox

A Historic Pub Embracing Tradition in the Heart of Hanwell

Welcome to The Fox Inn – a traditional pub with deep roots in the local community and a relaxed, welcoming feel that’s hard to fake. Tucked away at the end of Green Lane, just moments from the Grand Union Canal, The Fox has become a familiar meeting place for locals, regulars, and visitors passing through Hanwell.

We’ve always believed the best pubs are the ones that feel lived in – where the bar has a bit of character, the beer is properly kept, and no two visits feel quite the same. Some people stop by for a quick pint after work, others settle in for the evening with friends, a roast on Sunday, or a spot in the garden when the weather turns. However you find us, we’re simply proud to be the kind of local people keep coming back to.

A part of the community since 1848

With an unwavering community, The Fox was saved from closure and demolition in 2001, preserving its rich history for all to enjoy.

Pub Garden

One Of Hanwell’s Favourites

Our beer garden is one of Hanwell’s best spots when the sun’s out – a spacious, relaxed setting tucked away behind the pub, perfect for long afternoons and warm evenings with friends. With a mix of benches, booth seating, and plenty of space to settle in, it’s the kind of place where one drink often turns into a few. Surrounded by greenery and just moments from the canal, it feels a world away from the rush of West London.

The garden really comes into its own during our seasonal events. If you’ve ever joined us for one of our famous beer festivals, the Hanwell Hootie, our summer funfair, or one of the winter events, you’ll know just how much the space comes to life. Filled with people, great beer, music, food, and the community coming together, those are the moments that make The Fox what it is.
