As part of the London Open House weekend, Swakeleys House will be open to the public (no charge) on Saturday 17th September 10:00 to 16:00.
It gives Ickenham residents the opportunity to publicly show their interest in this building. Please go if you can. Groups of up to 15 at a time will be admitted every 20 to 30 minutes.
Tell your friends and neighbours, we need to demonstrate our continuing interest in this historic and iconic building to its owners.
Thank you.

You can alter the frequency and tweak other graph options. In the snapshot, the upper black line is the highest ever recorded (October 30th 2000) and the second line is the more recent highest (February 7th 2014). The lower black line is the lowest ever recorded (August 9th 2007).
The ‘About us’ was going to get out of hand if we kept adding documents, so we’re going to start archiving them to a new Committee documents page, a drop-down selection from About us in the menu.
Trawling around looking for a definitive Green Belt map for Ickenham (here’s a clue), I noticed this description of Ickenham in Hidden London. We are, apparently, “A genteel residential suburb situated between Uxbridge and Ruislip.”
Hidden London claims to take, “an informative, historically inclined look at a variety of the capital’s more obscure attractions, curiosities, districts and localities.”
