West Drayton West Drayton is a place in the London Borough of Hillingdon. It is split by the Great Western Railway and the Grand Union Canal, which both run east-west. West Drayton can be said to be south of this divide and Yiewsley to the north. Historically employment was connected to the railway and canal and to some extent still is. It is becoming more of a commuter town due to its proximity to M25, M4, M40 and M3 motorways. Although the RAF station at West Drayton closed many years ago, the site still hosts the military air traffic control centre co-located with the civil London Area and Terminal Control Centre. The unit provides a vital link between civil and military flying and airspace requirements.
