Used to work at Stockley Park. 12+ years back, the west side of Heathrow was dogshit... too busy, cars too fast, dangerous in general. I used to go the east side of the ring road and then down towards Hayes as it seemed a bit more controlled.

Apart from the slight kink on your map at Stanwell where I went straight on, that is pretty much the route I took. The road network over that way is as @mespilus described. There’s not really much out there except depots and support industries for Heathrow, probably why there are no small roads.
That bit of road mespilus described where where the underlying concrete slabs have moved was pretty dreadful. Luckily it was fairly quiet.

Places with no infrastructure other than dual carriageways to get from A to B. I just rode from Staines to Uxbridge and the only way through the bit between them was on 40mph and 50mph dual carriageways. It was utterly shit.
