Northwood is an area in the London Borough of Hillingdon, North West London, located 14+1⁄2 miles (23 kilometres) northwest of Charing Cross. Northwood was part of the ancient parish of Ruislip, Middlesex. The area was situated on the historic Middlesex boundary with Hertfordshire, and since being incorporated into Greater London in 1965, has been on the Greater London boundary with that county.
The area consists of the elevated settlement of Northwood and Northwood Hills, both of which are served by stations on the Metropolitan line of the London Underground. At the 2011 census, the population of Northwood was 10,949, down from 11,068 in 2008,[2] while the population of Northwood Hills was 11,578, up from 10,833 in 2001.[3]
