Ruislip Online is totally free to use and you can post your views about the area on the message board.


Ruislip Online would not exist in its present form without the income it gets from its advertisers. Please visit their web sites, and if you use them, tell them you heard about them from Ruislip Online. Many choose to renew year on year, the site is sponsored by Octagon Ltd.

Ruislip Online also gains income from the Google ads placed on the site. Many of these have a high local relevance and I suggest you visit these as well. These are dotted around the site at random. 

An excellent way to support this site and help pay towards the running of it is to make any purchases you do from Amazon via my sales account. It costs you nothing but for every purchase you make I earn a small commission. You can do that by going to the page headed up "Amazon" (link above as well as here) and then just make your purchase as normal. 

If you are interested in promoting your business on the site please visit the advertising section.

The aim of Ruislip Online is to bring you, the user, all the information you could ever want to see on Ruislip. However, it is neither a heavy historical "tome" nor a snappy up to date newsy web site, instead it sits somewhere between the two.

Some of the pages from the links may be duplicated. By example suppose you were reading up on Ruislip Lido, within the site is a page with pictures taken around the Lido, equally suppose you were just looking for general pictures around Ruislip, within the links will be one to the same page of pictures (of the Lido).

I am always happy to receive comments, suggestions or questions. If you have any just get in touch with me from the contact page
