From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Greenford, historically Greenford Magna, is a suburb in the London Borough of Ealing in west London, England.
The most prominent landmarks in the suburb are the A40, a large road that connects central London with the M40 motorway, and Horsenden Hill 278ft above sea level. The small Parish Church of Holy Cross (14th century) and Betham House (C:1780). The small suburb of Perivale is considered to be part of Greenford.
Until the 15th century it was called Greenford Parva (Little Greenford), as opposed to Greenford Magna (Great Greenford). Greenford is one of the oldest recorded places in London Borough of Ealing, first referred to in a legal document dated 845 ad.
