Ruislip: Historic charm meets modern convenience in London’s green suburb

Ruislip is a very popular suburb in the London Borough of Hillingdon, with Metropolitan and Piccadilly Line Tube services in Zone 6 providing access to London and the City.

The high street is becoming a foodie hub, featuring numerous restaurants and a growing café culture, alongside the long-standing department store, John Sanders.

Property in the area is varied. The 1930s estates stretch beyond the station towards Ruislip Manor and North Ruislip, interspersed with larger period detached homes and semis. A number of smaller new estates have also been built since the 1970s.

Ruislip retains its historic charm with a medieval collection of buildings surrounding a duck pond and the Great Barn. The area is perhaps best known for Ruislip Lido, its miniature railway, and the extensive surrounding woodland.

There are also numerous bus services from Ruislip Station serving the local area and beyond.
