The 'Gillette Building', a grade II listed Art Deco style office and works development, designed by Sir Banister Fletcher, incorporating a high brick tower surmounted by a four-faced neon-illuminated clock. As this tall structure sits on high ground it represents a prominent local landmark and can be seen from afar, day and night. From the early 1930s until the early twenty-first century this building was the European headquarters of the Gillette Company, of Boston Massachusetts.

The Bonnington Group has been granted planning permission by the London Borough of Hounslow to develop the Gillette building into a hotel and "business park", which will add to the West Cross industrial estate, of which Gillette Corner forms the western end. However, these plans have not yet been approved by the Mayor of London.
