Hillingdon
The London Borough of Hillingdon is the westernmost borough in Greater London. It was formed in 1965 from the districts of Hayes and Harlington, Ruislip-Northwood, Uxbridge, and Yiewsley and West Drayton in the historic county of Middlesex. The borough covers an overall area of 44.67 square miles. This makes it the second largest of the 32 London boroughs by area.
Hillingdon Council governs the borough, featuring its headquarters in the Civic Centre in Uxbridge. The south of the borough's former strong connection with industry has diminished since the 1980s to be replaced by a primarily residential suburban population; the north has remained a consistently residential suburban area.
The borough's residential areas expanded with the extension of the Metropolitan Railway from Harrow on the Hill to Uxbridge during the early twentieth century as well as the gradual establishment of stops along the line, becoming known as 'Metro-land'.
The population increased from 2001 to 2011 by 11.5 per cent, which is 4.4 per cent higher than the England and Wales mean of 7.1 per cent, making the borough a part of the quickest population-growth location. In this time, the number of households also increased by 3.3 per cent, with an average of 2.7 people per household.
The borough maintains over 200 green spaces, totalling around 1800 acres. As much of the area is within the Metropolitan Green Belt it was, in 2008, among the list of least densely populated of all the London boroughs; open spaces differ in size from the Colne Valley Regional Park to smaller sized gardens such as Lake Farm Country Park.
