Unusually for a square in the heart of suburban north London, most of TQ0983 is fields, woodland and nature reserve based around the Yeading Brook, as most other pictures here show. The housing is in the south west corner of the square and tends to look much like this.

The shallow ditch is marked on the 1:25000 Ordnance Survey map as "canal feeder". It's a remnant of a channel that took water from Ruislip Lido to the Paddington Arm of the Grand Union Canal, linking with sections of Yeading Brook. https://londoncanals.uk/2013/02/05/the-grand-junction-canal-feeder-from-ruislip-5/

Yeading Brook Meadows Local Nature Reserve is one of the most important grassland sites in Greater London. It is cut for hay in late summer, with some areas being left uncut to provide overwintering sites for invertebrates and small mammals. Skylark breeds in the hay meadow and can be seen flying overhead in summer. Yeading Brook Meadows is managed by the London Wildlife Trust on behalf of the London Boroughs of Hillingdon and Ealing. This is just north of Kingshill Avenue.
