Andy Dell is building some great 3D models of his local area, to the point where the Hounslow Chronicle did a story about him and his work (which I discovered via the 3D Warehouse Twitter account).
As you can see from the image above, he does excellent work with great attention to detail. The image above (of the Duke of York Pub), notice the roof overhang, expanded bay windows, tables, the Pub sign, the fence in back, etc. It's very well done.
So far 21 of his models have been accepted into Google Earth, which you can view in the Google 3D Warehouse.
The rest of Hounslow is still pretty bare in Google Earth, but with people like Andy on the job it'll be coming to life a little more every day.
