Northwood is a ward in the London Borough of Hillingdon, sitting on the edge of north‑west London and neighboured by Ruislip, Pinner and Moor Park. It occupies relatively high ground with views towards the Chiltern Hills, benefits from the protection of the Metropolitan Green Belt and is well connected for commuters via Northwood tube station on the Metropolitan line.
The area feels suburban and fairly affluent, with a lively high street of independent shops, cafes and pubs, good schools and plenty of green space. A distinctive feature is the nearby Northwood Headquarters, an important military and NATO centre, which gives the ward an unusual link to national defence alongside its Victorian and Edwardian suburban heritage.
