English is the primary language. Locals are generally friendly, but it's a working-class area, so respect their pace.
Safety is typical for a UK suburb, but stay aware of your surroundings, especially at night.
Tipping in restaurants is customary, around 10-15% if service is not included.
Public transport uses Oyster cards or contactless payments, but in Feltham, most attractions are within walking distance.
Weather can change quickly, so pack layers and an umbrella, even in summer.
Many shops close early on Sundays, and some attractions might have limited hours, so plan accordingly.
When to Go
Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit Feltham is during late spring to early autumn (May to September) when the weather is milder and drier, making outdoor activities like park visits more enjoyable. Summers can be pleasant but occasionally busy due to proximity to Heathrow. Winters are cold and damp, with shorter days, which might limit exploration. Avoid peak holiday seasons if you prefer quieter streets.
