Acting as the bookends to summer are Hanwell’s two annual beer festivals, held over Easter and again in October, where both local and international brewers are celebrated. It’s this community spirit that has allowed Hanwell to create its own identity not just from London, but London’s diverse west, where it’s cultural roots originated.
