“I love South Ruislip because all the things you need in day to day life is close by..the tube station connects you to the central London and Heathrow airport connects you to the world which is just 40 mins drive. A lovely park is on your doorstep where you take your kids out to play, There are some fantastic schools for the kids. The grocery stores are not too far as well. There are some nice cafes and restaurants and the most important thing is its a very safe area, What else would any body need. I wouldn't live any where else.”
