Where the name comes from
Named after the district. Ruislip appears in Domesday Book as Rislepe, thought to mean "leaping place on the river where rushes grow", referring to the River Pinn; it comes from Old English rysc (rush) and hlȳp (leap).
Worth knowing: Opened in 1904, it was at first the only intermediate station between Uxbridge and Harrow-on-the-Hill.
