Ruislip Manor is located in the south-eastern part of Ruislip and borders Eastcote. It began as a single private housing estate by developer George Ball, who started creating his ‘Manor Homes’ estate in 1933. The 2,238 houses were all built to one of two basic types, mostly in terraces of four or six, although a few were semi-detached.
Ruislip Manor is a great place to live and work, 12 miles northwest of London, on the Piccadilly and Metropolitan tube lines. It offers many attractions including quiet residential streets, green spaces, excellent schools and it even has its own beach!. And, taking just 30 minutes to get to the centre of London on the tube, Ruislip Manor is also ideal for commuters.
