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 within the historic county of Middlesex. The borough covers an overall area of 44.67 square miles. This makes it the second biggest of the 32 London boroughs by area.
For administrative purposes, the borough is split into North and South Hillingdon. The south of the borough's former powerful connection with industry has diminished since the 1980s to be replaced by a mainly residential suburban population; the north has remained a consistently residential suburban area.
The borough's residential places expanded with the extension of the Metropolitan Railway from Harrow on the Hill to Uxbridge in the early 20th century along with 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 above the England and Wales mean of 7.1 per cent, making the borough a part of the fastest population-growth area. Within this time, the amount of households also increased by 3.3 per cent, with an average of 2.7 people per household.
The borough maintains more than 200 green spaces, totalling about 1800 acres. As much of the area is inside the Metropolitan Green Belt it was, in 2008, one of the least densely populated of all of the London boroughs; open spaces vary in size from the Colne Valley Regional Park to smaller sized gardens which include Lake Farm Country Park.
