Moor Park, Hertfordshire

Moor Park Estate (North Ruislip Estate) is a private residential estate in north-west London. The area borders Northwood, London and is part of the affluent suburb of Ruislip. It takes its name from Moor Park, a country house which was originally built in 1678–9 for James, Duke of Monmouth, and was reconstructed in the Palladian style circa 1720 by Giacomo Leoni. The house and grounds are now occupied by Moor Park Golf Club.

The estate consists of around 6 square miles (16 km²) of gated, Private roads; extending from Ruislip Woods through to Northwood, and finishing at Merchant Taylors' School. It is built on what used to be an area of Ruislip Moor, which is where the name Moor Park originates. The majority of the area lies in the London postcode HA6 OR HA4.

The surrounding neighbourhood consists mostly of upscale houses, some dating back to the original 1930s developments. Moor Park has large Muslim, Jewish and Asian communities, and many homeowers commute to London via Moor Park tube station on the Metropolitan Line of the London Underground.
