About

Northwood sits in the northwest corner of the London Borough of Hillingdon, bordering Hertfordshire's green belt. The area is characterised by quiet, tree-lined residential roads with a mix of substantial detached houses and more modest semis. Its centre is focused along Green Lane, which hosts a range of independent shops, cafes, and essential services, maintaining a local high street feel. The presence of the Metropolitan Line station provides a direct link into central London.

The area is known for its significant amount of preserved woodland and open spaces, including the expansive Ruislip Woods National Nature Reserve to the south. Northwood is also home to a major military establishment, which influences the local community and economy. Golf courses and the grounds of Northwood Headquarters contribute to the distinctly green and spacious character, setting it apart from more densely built-up parts of outer London.
