Please don’t abuse these contacts. 101 is great for non-emergencies and 999 for genuine emergencies. Here are all the local contact points:

If you have a local issue, contact your Safer Neighbourhood Team sergeant by email:

  • Sgt David Peaks | Ickenham and Harefield | david.j.peaks@met.police.uk
  • Or phone your local Safer Neighbourhood Ward Officer:
    • Ickenham 020 8721 2543
    • If they are off duty, their phone will divert to voicemail that will be answered within 24-hours

Phone 999: Emergencies

Phone 101: Non urgent

And then there is always Inspector Rob Bryan, Hillingdon North Safer Neighbourhoods | Hillingdon Borough

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.”
