This has to be one of the best London boroughs and is perfectly placed to enjoy all that London has to offer, as well as easy access to the countryside.

    Looking for the Battle of Britain House, Ruislip

    We’ve lived in Ruislip for a good few years now and were intrigued when we heard about the ruins of a house in the heart of Ruislip Woods, where agents of the Clandestine Operations Division were trained for secret operations in occupied France! Doesn’t that sound like an amazing story!? We’ve wanted to look for the ruins for years and finally found the time. I wrote a little about Ruislip Woods a few weeks ago.
