Welcome to the Hanger Hill Garden Estate and its residents association
The Association works for all residents of the Estate, whether living in the houses or flats; it is run entirely by volunteers and everyone who lives here is welcome to participate in its work.
Click here to download our super Autumn newsletter. It's full of important information about latest developments on the Estate, including a chance to share your views about our project to improve and replant the Rose Garden at the top of Princes Gardens. Or come along to Playstreet on 21 September - 2-4pm on Monks Drive.
Hanger Hill Garden Estate Residents Association (HHGERA) works for everyone who lives or owns property on our Estate. We have two distinct roles - as a community group for everyone who lives here, organising social events and liaising with Ealing Council and other local groups; and as manager of the communally-owned gardens (other than those surrounding the flats), the service roads behind houses, boundaries, fences and trees, and general security issues. We also monitor and respond to planning matters affecting the Estate.
Note that the Association does not manage the blocks of flats on the Estate, which have their own management company (click here for information).
Follow the links on the left for more about the Estate, Association news and useful links to other sites. If you have time, do read the fascinating and often moving history of the Estate -- from the early days when Hanger Hill was open countryside, to successive battles over development plans for the surrounding area.
In the meantime, we hope you will enjoy the website and would welcome any feedback. Please do also contact us via mail@hhgera.com if you would like to help manage the site.
What's new
Exciting news: Rose Garden consultation is open...
We've done a lot of work since the initial design for the Centenary Rose Garden was shared at the last AGM. Now it's time for everyone who lives on the Estate to share their views so we can finalise the design. We will need around £60,000 to get the work done, which is way beyond the Residents Association budget. So we have launched a crowdfunding effort via the Spacehive platform, which we used for our last big project to restore the Princes Gardens central reservation.
...and we need your support!
We'll be applying for grants and contributions from local businesses. But it’s important to donors that we get as many people as possible to donate and leave messages of support. The amount doesn’t matter… it’s the number of individuals that counts so please do add a few ££ if you can and encourage neighbours, friends and family to do the same. Click here or go to https://www.hhgera.com/rose-garden for all the information you need (you can pay by bank transfer or card). Or contact us at rosegarden@hhgera.com to share your thoughts and to get involved.
Autumn 2025 newsletter: Click here to download the latest edition of HHGERA News, the residents association newsletter, or here for our documents archive containing issues since 2014. We always welcome contributions so do contact us via mail@hhgera.com if you have an idea for an interesting story or would like to help produce future editions. The same goes for this website!
Cherry trees - a special offer! Every house on the Estate once had a Cherry tree in the front garden. If yours has
died or been removed, we’ve been able to negotiate a great price to help. Costs are £43.00 for a smaller tree in a 10L pot (2metre tree) and £85.00 for a larger 3m tree in 40L pot. The full name is Prunus cerasifera ‘Nigra’. The cost INCLUDES the Estate gardeners planting the tree for you! Go to https://www.hhgera.com/cherry-trees for more information and to reserve your tree, or email any queries to cherrytrees@hhgera.com.
Annual General Meeting: The residents association and Houses Management Board AGMs were held on March 27th 2025 at Holy Family School on Vale Lane. Click here for minutes of the meeting. The AGM is when the people who run the Residents Association are elected. You can also hear about the Estate and ask questions. House owners also elect the Houses Management Board, which looks after the houses' shared gardens and service roads. (The flats on the Estate have their own different management company and service charge.) Click here if you'd be interested in helping to run the Association. Go to https://www.hhgera.com/2025-agm for links to the agenda, supporting papers and minutes.
Filming on our Estate: Working Title chose our Estate as the location for a key scene in a feature film called "Pressure" about the 1944 D-Day landings in the Second World War. Filming day was September 9th 2024, when a massive crew descended to shoot inside a house near the start of the Princes Gardens loop and in the street outside. This brought a useful injection of funds to the Residents Association and the 2025 Annual General Meeting approved proposals on using the Estate for future location work. We have now registered with the Location Works agency and invite individual householders to register with the company if they wish to make their properties available for location work. There's more information on the Film Location and Filming 2024 pages of this website.
Houses service charge: The Houses Management Board AGM approved an unchanged rate of £70 a house for 2025 and 2026. Please pay promptly, preferably online, and provide an email address if you would prefer to be contacted by email in future. You can email invoices@hhgera.com if you have any questions about the service charge and/or don't know how to pay.
Support still available: The wonderful network of volunteers set up at the height of the Covid pandemic is still there to help out if you need it. If you do need some help, if you would like to join in this community effort or if you are concerned about someone living on the Estate please email support@hhgera.com .
Rubbish, recycling and litter: Please be considerate to your neighbours by NEVER parking on service roads, as this blocks the recycling lorries; ONLY putting rubbish into the appropriate bin; picking up any litter you see, and reporting missed collections via the Ealing Council website. Or join our neighbourhood WhatsApp group, which includes a litter pickers' group, by using the QR code in our latest newsletter.
Skip permits: You need a permit to put a skip on any of the service roads that belong to the houses part of the Estate - click here to download the form.
Volunteers needed: Would you like to contribute to our community by joining the volunteers who work to maintain our lovely Estate? It needn't take up much of your time and is a great way to get to know your neighbours. Email volunteer@hhgera.com to find out more.
