Hillingdon's identity is shaped by its size and its suburbs, places like Ruislip, Ruislip Manor, Northwood and Cowley have kept a distinctly residential, family feel even as the borough sits close to one of the world's busiest airports, and that quieter, settled character carries through into its high streets.

Hillingdon is one of London's largest boroughs by area, stretching from the edge of Heathrow up through a string of residential town centres including Uxbridge, West Drayton, Hayes and Ickenham, and that scale gives it a genuinely suburban, family-oriented character rather than the density of Inner London.

Across Hillingdon's 14 restaurants in our directory, the most common cuisine is fish and chips restaurants (10), indian restaurants (3), italian restaurants (1).

Everyday local dining
