The Shot Tower sits at the entrance to Crane Park Island Nature Reserve and was built in 1828. Its original purpose was to create shot through a process of pouring molten lead from a height to allow it to separate into balls in free fall before landing in water. It was part of the Hounslow Gunpowder Mills.

Today, it's a visitor centre and is open on Sundays.
