South Ruislip sits in the north-west of the London Borough of Hillingdon, between Northolt and Ruislip. The ward is best known for its proximity to RAF Northolt — despite being in neighbouring South Ruislip rather than Northolt, the base was named after the nearest railway station at the time, and it opened in May 1915, giving it the longest history of continuous use of any RAF airfield. There are seven listed buildings including the Grade II* Polish Air Force Memorial, the Grade II Building 5 at RAF Northolt and other military structures. Safety and air-quality scores are strong, and total green cover reaches 57.4 hectares with Bridgwater Road Fields at 7.5 hectares. South Ruislip station on the Central line and Chiltern Railways gives a moderate public-transport offer, and 14 Ofsted-outstanding schools sit within reach. The drawbacks: the food and non-food scene is modest with around 58 venues, there is no conservation-area cover, culture scores are very low, and market affordability is middling rather than strong. Also, air traffic from RAF Northolt still affects parts of the ward.

RAF Northolt opened in May 1915 as the 'RFC Military School, Ruislip', making it older than the Royal Air Force itself; it was named after the nearest railway station at the time, though the airfield is actually in neighbouring South Ruislip.
