Norwood Green is a place in the London Borough of Ealing in London, England, that forms the southern part of Southall. It is a suburban development centred 10.7 miles (17.2 km) west of Charing Cross and 4 miles (6.4 km) ENE of Heathrow Airport.
Its origin coincides with the 12th century arch in its chapel, the date when it is first recorded. Reflecting its mid-19th century agrarian nature it remained below church status in Hayes parish until 1859.
It often lends its name to an electoral ward of around 12,500 people.[2] It today forms the southern part of larger Southall, named after the main manor which lay in the north of its area which is south of Northolt parish.
Informally Norwood Green overspills into part of Heston in the London Borough of Hounslow.
