Brands Hill is a village in Berkshire, England. It is just on the outskirts of Colnbrook on the Bath Rd adjacent to the Langley junction of the M4 motorway. It has grown from a few houses and has never been a historical village. There are a few shops, including an M&S/BP petrol station. The former Plough Pub, which was a landmark on the bus routes from Hounslow to Slough, was demolished to make way for a hotel, The Holiday Inn, a few years ago. Many of the inhabitants work at Heathrow Airport, and the Royal Mail Depot. The area is significant for its connecting through road, the Colnbrook bypass, which runs through the heart of Brands Hill, linking the M4, and Heathrow airport. Recreation is offered by way of a local public House, the Queens Arms on London Road, the bar in the Holiday Inn Express, Tratts Pizza next door to the hotel and the Brands Hill park. The park offers child's play swings, and a permanent grassed football pitch. Due to the proximity to London Heathrow Terminal 5, the small village offers a few B&Bs, The Airport Guest House, and Gibtel, both on the Brands Hill roundabout.

Heathrow Worldwide Distribution Centre (HWDC) is a sorting office for inbound and outbound international mail operated by Royal Mail. Located close to Heathrow Airport, the HWDC is situated in the town of Langley, Berkshire, near Slough, and began operations in 2003. The centre is often referred to by its abbreviation, Langley HWDC, or as 'GBLALA' in mail tracking information.Most mail entering and leaving the United Kingdom is sorted at Heathrow Worldwide Distribution Centre under tight aviation security standards, following the closure of all other international mail handling facilities in the UK. Parcelforce Worldwide operates two hubs based at Coventry adjacent to the airport. One hub is for parcels for the United Kingdom, and the other for international parcels. Not all mail handled at HWDC arrives by air, as road vehicles that formerly arrived in the UK by ferry at Dover, or container ship at Southampton now extend their trip to HWDC by road, instead of entering the Royal Mail network at (now defunct) offices of exchange situated nearest the ports. Outbound mail will usually leave the country by aircraft from the nearby Heathrow Airport.
