I think I've located where the tower is - it's very near Southall
station on a road called The Straight and is marked "Water Tower" on
this map:

There's a water tower converted to flats in Ladywell which I mentioned
recently.

The best one is in Suffolk...

Thanks John, I don't know why I didn't think of using an aerial view to
confirm my suspicions... I must be getting old and stuck in my ways!
Problem is I'm quite a fan of the information-rich, if somewhat messy,
A-Z style mapping that Streetmap offers - even if it is actually
somewhat out of date - that I often don't look elsewhere. But I must
remember to check out Live Maps... the 'birds eye view' facility is very
useful.

I find Multimap's mapping much better than Streetmap's, and they've given
the interface a very good google-alike makeover recently. There's now a
tickbox which shows you where cash machines are, which is a winner!

Google maps has good aerial photos, of course, although their maps are
ugly. It does have a super-nifty feature in some US cities, though:
