Hillingdon House

Hillingdon House is a classical Victorian structure in Uxbridge featuring 1844 architecture and standing on grounds where the River Pinn flows. The building displays period details and proportions typical of its era's residential design.

The original 1717 building served as a hunting lodge for the Duke of Schomberg but was substantially rebuilt after a fire in 1844. This reconstruction shaped the structure that stands today.

The property transformed from a private residence into a military hospital during World War I, later becoming part of RAF Uxbridge headquarters.

The building is undergoing renovation work that combines new restaurant use with preservation of its historical character. It is best to check ahead about current site conditions and accessibility before visiting.

The estate changed hands in 1786 when acquired by the Marchioness of Rockingham, marking a turning point in its ownership history. This transition brought shifts in how the property was maintained and valued.
