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.

Finds from the medieval era and Bronze Age have been discovered when The Chimes mall was constructed. At the same time, Upper Paleolithic remains were discovered near Denham. The Domesday Book does not mention the town of Uxbridge. However, in the 13th century, the St Margaret’s Church was already constructed on the area. In the 12th century, the only mention about the settlement was under the name Woxbrigge. At the time, it was included in the Elthorne Hundred.

The first covered market in the town was constructed in 1788 and until 1800 it grew to be one of the most significant market towns in the area. Moreover, it became the first stagecoach stopping point between Oxford and London. In 1794, the Grand Junction Canal was constructed to connect Birmingham with Uxbridge. However, after the Great Western Railway was opened, Uxbridge declined. The railway passed only through West Drayton. The branch to Uxbridge wasn’t constructed until 1904. So, the development of the town began in the early 20th century.
