Brendons Eastcote is situated in a central position on the corner of the Field End Road and Elm Avenue. Eastcote and the immediate surrounding towns expanded in the 1930's when the London underground stations arrived, and again in the 1950's post WW2 when a phase of housing was built. It is a very characterful area with many tree lined roads and lots of open spaces creating a semi-rural suburban town.
