Where the name comes from
Hillingdon appears in the Domesday Book as Hillendone, possibly meaning 'hill of a man named Hille'; it could also mean 'hill of a woman named Hilda'.
Worth knowing: From the mid-1930s to the mid-1950s it was called Hillingdon (Swakeleys), and the platform roundels still show that name.
