Northwood London Map

About Northwood

Northwood, a quiet corner of Greater London, offers a gentle embrace of the countryside. It lies 4.4 km south-east of Rickmansworth (from Rickmansworth: bearing 134°T, OS grid TQ 092 914), and is situated east of Harefield village. The broad, open skies above Northwood often carry the scent of freshly cut grass from its surrounding fields, hinting at the agricultural past that still whispers through its lanes. Its residential character is punctuated by pockets of green spaces, where the light, even on a cloudy day, seems to hold a particular softness, illuminating the sturdy brickwork of its homes and the mature trees lining its streets. Northwood's development, while modest, has preserved a sense of spaciousness, a welcome contrast to the denser urban sprawl further afield. The quiet hum of daily life here moves at a pace that allows for the appreciation of simple things, like the way the evening sun catches the leaves of the oaks.
