The present station was opened on 4 December 1938, replacing an earlier station dating from 1904 on Belmont Road. The forecourt of the new station was originally laid out to provide a turning circle for trolleybuses, which replaced trams in 1936. The station was designed by Charles Holden with L H Bucknell and features a red-brick facade with paired sculptures by Joseph Armitage over the entrance, representing stylised "winged wheels" with leaf springs. A tall concrete canopy arches over the tracks with a row of clerestory windows above the platforms. The canopy at Uxbridge is similar to the one at Cockfosters, the terminus at the other end of the Piccadilly line. On 12 January 1983, the station buildings were given Grade II listed status.
