Lying just south of the A40 and bordered by the Grand Union Canal, Perivale is a quiet corner of West London that often feels more like a suburb than part of the inner city. It is perhaps best known for the striking white art deco facade of the Hoover House, a landmark of the 1930s industrial boom that defined much of the local landscape. For those who enjoy the outdoors, the area is surprisingly green; it is home to the expansive Perivale Park and the ancient Perivale Wood, one of the oldest nature reserves in the country and a rare fragment of the woodland that once covered the entire county of Middlesex. Transport is straightforward via the Central Line, which connects the neighbourhood directly to the West End and the City, while the nearby retail parks and the shops of Greenford provide all the basic necessities. It’s an area where the metropolitan pace slows down slightly, anchored by the tiny 12th-century church of St Mary the Virgin, which still stands as a reminder of the village's medieval roots amidst the modern residential streets.
