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 inside the historic county of Middlesex. The borough covers a total area of 44.67 square miles. This makes it the second largest of the 32 London boroughs by area.
For administrative purposes, the borough is separated into North and South Hillingdon. 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 in the early twentieth century plus the gradual establishment of stops along the line, becoming called 'Metro-land'.
The population increased from 2001 to 2011 by 11.5 per cent, which is 4.4 per cent above the England and Wales mean of 7.1 per cent, making the borough a part of the quickest population-growth area. In this time, the amount of households also increased by 3.3 per cent, with an average of 2.7 individuals per household.
The borough maintains over 200 green spaces, totalling around 1800 acres. As a lot of the area is within the Metropolitan Green Belt it was, in 2008, one of the least densely populated of all of the London boroughs; open spaces range in size from the Colne Valley Regional Park to smaller gardens which include Lake Farm Country Park. For all of your residence upgrades, make sure that you employ trustworthy professionals in Hillingdon to ensure that you get the best quality.
