Heathrow Local Information

Type ‘Heathrow’ into any search engine and the first few pages concentrate mostly on Heathrow Airport, and true enough, it can be forgotten that there was an actual village called Heathrow. So as you pick up your minibus hire from the airport, spare a thought for the little village that was demolished to make way for one of the world’s busiest airports!

Heathrow, the village, was located in the Borough of Hillingdon, and its name was thought to be taken from Anglo-Saxon meaning ‘row of houses on a heath’. Evidence has been unearthed over the years to suggest that land just north-east of ‘Heathrow’ was inhabited as far back as 500BC, and much later it was believed to be a Roman camp. Early in the 1400s, Heathrow began to ‘develop’, and by 1582, Heathrow had 14 houses, but in the mid-1700s, not much else is known about the little village.

In 1839 there was a public house, and 1930 saw the building of the ‘Great Western Aerodrome’ by the Fairey Aviation Co. In 1944 the airfield was given over to the Royal Air Force, and as it became Heathrow R.A.F. station, Heathrow and its neighbouring hamlet Perry Oaks were demolished. In 1946, Heathrow Airport was born, and was transferred to the Ministry of Civil Aviation.

Heathrow the village was where terminal three now stands – there are now four terminals, a cargo terminal and building has commenced on terminal five with terminal six being planned. Terminal six would see the possible demolition of communities in Hillingdon, including a church dating back to 1067.
