Housing growth has over the years created several Denhams. Modern day Denham consists of:

• Denham Green grew up around the shops beside Denham station on Chiltern Line; Alexander Korda's film studios, sited between the junction of the Rickmansworth Road (now the A412 North Orbital road) and Moor Hall Road towards Harefield, provided further employment
• New Denham grew along the old Oxford Road north-west of Uxbridge, west of the Grand Union Canal
• Higher Denham was built on the site of a First World War army training and transit camp, placed to take advantage of the adjacent Denham Golf Club station. After the War, the camp land was sold off piecemeal for housing, following a similar trend all over Metroland. Martin-Baker Aircraft Ltd, manufacturers of aircraft ejector seats, have a small factory in Higher Denham
