Northwood Hills is a separate area located near the Eastbury Village. It is surrounded by green buffers and it also incorporates the Haste Hill. Haste Hill Golf Club and Northwood Hills are located on the old Great Common Wood. In the 16th century, it covered 860 acres of land and it was utilised for collecting firewood and grazing livestock. In 1608, a large part of the wood was sold and remaining area was converted into the Copse Wood and it was included in the Ruislip Woods.
Besides the wood and the green area, Northwood Hills also features social housing estate located along the street. The majority of the private houses were constructed by the real estate company, Belton Estates, in the 1930s. Joel Street in Northwood Hills is home to a state of the art shopping parade built and designed by Harry Neal. Potter Street is another important street in Northwood Hills and it is also lined by residential estates.
Northwood Hills features a public house that’s famous for being the first place where Elton John had its first professional performance. One of his albums features a photo of the pub on the cover.
