History

Toponymy
The village's name comes from the Anglo-Saxon language ''Sibbwines tūn'': "Sibbwine's farmstead". Sipson village adjoins the famous "Bath Road" (the modern A4 road (England)), which linked London to Bath, Somerset.

Local government
Historic counties of England, Sipson was in the county of Middlesex, which was abolished as a local government entity when Greater London was created in 1965.

Heathrow expansion
On 10 January 1946 the British Cabinet agreed Stage 3 of the airport, which was an extension north of the Bath Road, with a large triangle of 3 runways, obliterating Sipson and most of Harlington, and diverting the Bath Road.Sherwood 2009, p87

In 2009 the majority of the village was under threat of demolition owing to the planned expansion of London Heathrow Airport, which would have created a third runway at the airport. However, in March 2010 the English High Court of Justice ruled that the plans must be reconsidered on environmental grounds, and it was announced in May 2010 that the third runway plan had been cancelled.
