Denham: Willowbank Village
Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 10 Aug 2007
Willowbank Village started off in the 1920s as a collection of small holiday chalets on an island between the River Colne and the Grand Union Canal for Londoners wanting to enjoy the countryside. A few of the original chalets remain today, but most have been demolished and replaced by much larger permanently occupied homes. This is the village green at the centre with Willow Crescent West to the left and Willow Crescent East to the right. Although the village is part of Denham from a local government area point of view, it is much closer to the built-up area of Uxbridge than Denham.
