Sudbury Hill station on London Underground's Piccadilly line. The station building dates from the early 1930s and is a Grade 2 listed building.

The District Railway opened its new extension from north of Ealing Common to Park Royal & Twyford Abbey on 23rd June 1903. The line was opened fully to South Harrow on 28th June 1903. When it opened in 1903, Sudbury Hill station was an iron hut set in open country. Few passengers were attracted at the start, the fact that trains terminated at South Harrow not helping. District line trains started to run beyond South Harrow in 1910 but they were only hourly for much of the day, increasing to a 20 minute service the following year. This new extension was, together with the existing tracks between Ealing Common and Acton Town, the first section of the Underground's surface lines to be electrified and operate electric instead of steam trains. In the early 1930s, Government money was on offer to combat unemployment and using some of this the Piccadilly line was extended to run west of its original terminus at Hammersmith sharing the route with the District line to Ealing Common. This change took place from 4th July 1932. From Ealing Common to South Harrow, the District line was replaced by the Piccadilly line on the same date. Sudbury Hill station was rebuilt in 1932. This view is from the down platform. Sudbury Town is the next station in this direction.

Opened in 1903 by the District Railway, this line changed to the Piccadilly Line in 1932. View south east towards Sudbury Town and central London. In 2021, the station became "step-free" when new lifts were installed.
