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 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 split up into South and North Hillingdon. The south of the borough's former strong relationship 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 locations expanded with the extension of the Metropolitan Railway from Harrow on the Hill to Uxbridge during the early 20th century plus the gradual establishment of stops along the line, becoming referred to as 'Metro-land'.
According to population estimates from the middle of 2014, Hillingdon currently includes a permanent population of about 292690 inhabitants.
The borough maintains over 200 green spaces, totalling around 1800 acres. As a lot 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 differ in size from the Colne Valley Regional Park to smaller gardens which include Lake Farm Country Park.
