The ward is the northernmost in the
London Borough of Ealing, spanning the length of Whitton Avenue and taking in the northernmost parts of
Greenford and
Northolt. The area remained largely undeveloped until the early 20th century, and is now characterised by 1920s and 1930s suburban housing.
Horsenden Hill, both the highest point in the borough at 84m (276ft) about sea level, as well as its largest nature conservation area at 100 hectares, is in the southeast of the ward. The ward also contains
Grove Farm local nature reserve and ancient woodland. == Political history ==
