Hillingdon Economy
More than 500 businesses occupy a compact core business area of Uxbridge town centre, in an area roughly 1km by 0.5km. A significant number of offices house UK and European headquarters. A retail space of over one million square feet accommodates national multiples in two covered shopping centres as well as independents in the high street and adjacent roads.
Retail spending in 2004 was tenth highest in Greater London, with 54% derived from people living outside London. The 14 million annual visitors are drawn from a wide catchment that includes Hillingdon, neighbouring boroughs and the substantial office population.
