Southall Gas Works, Industrial heritage site in Southall, United Kingdom.

Southall Gas Works is a former gas production facility located along the Paddington Arm of the Grand Union Canal in West London. The site contains original industrial buildings, storage tanks, and infrastructure that once supplied gas to surrounding communities across a substantial area.

The Brentford Gas Company established this facility in 1869 to meet rising gas demand across Middlesex and West London. It operated continuously for more than a century before closure in 1973 as newer energy sources became available.

The gas works facilities appeared in television productions, including Doctor Who episodes where the structures represented a space center fueling area.

The site is undergoing transformation with ongoing environmental improvements, so it is best to check in advance what areas are accessible to the public. Contact local visitor information for current access and any guided tour options available.

The site transformation includes plans for 3,750 new homes, 40 acres of public parks, a cinema, shops, and a primary school.
