I lived in Hounslow for thirty years and got the Piccadilly Line daily. I never once heard it referred to as The Tandoor.

According to the 2021 Census, 656,272 Indian British live in London. Hounslow total population is 288,200, 21% of them Indian or around 60,000.

British Indians are the second largest ethnic group in Hounslow (after "white"), but there are almost 600,000 more living in other parts of London.
