Page "Ickenham" Paragraph 3

According to the 1901 Census, Ickenham at that time had a population of 329, which by the 2001 Census had reached 9, 933, although census figures show a marked population decline during the 1960s and 1970s.

By 2008, the population had reached 10, 133.

When Ickenham obtained a railway station on the Metropolitan Railway's line between Harrow and Uxbridge, it brought with it a rail link to London.

A great deal of residential development commenced in the village and it gradually became part of the London commuter belt.

Ickenham expanded with the sale and development of much of the Swakeleys estate in 1922 and became part of what was later termed " Metro-land ".
