Etymology
The name North Hyde is thought to mean "north land", seeming to mean area of land lying to the north of Heston. There is some evidence to suggest that this area of land was named by a wealthy Saxon land owner trying to avoid paying taxes to the parish of Heston.
History
Before the 18th century, North Hyde formed part of the infamous Hounslow Heath.
