Harman House, George Street
Somewhat narcissistic self-reflections either side of the central section. Overall, not a "friendly" building.

Uxbridge: Harman House
Angled glass fronted buildings can catch the light in strikingly different ways as this view of Harman House from York Way shows.

Uxbridge Underground station, Greater London
Opened in 1938 by the London Passenger Transport Board as the terminus of the Metropolitan and Piccadilly lines from London, this station replaced the 1904 station at Belmont Road that had been built by the Metropolitan Railway.
View south west towards the buffers. Like 55% of the London Underground network, this part is actually overground.

Uxbridge Underground station (4)
Heading towards seven years after Image and this is a full on straight down the centre view into the Grade II Listed station from the York Road bridge. The blue boxes on the platforms have gone, but the biggest change is in the rolling stock with the new Metropolitan Line units having now completely replaced the old. The three track terminal platform arrangements are a little unusual.

Uxbridge tube station
The station, designed by Charles Holden https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Holden with LH Bucknell, opened in late 1938. A tall concrete canopy arches over the tracks with a row of clerestory windows above the platforms https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uxbridge_tube_station . The canopy is similar to the one at Cockfosters, the terminus at the other end of the Piccadilly line - see Image
As at Cockfosters, the station has three tracks and four platforms (numbered 1 to 4): the centre track is between platforms 2 and 3. This is an example of the so-called "Spanish solution" which helps to speed up boarding and alighting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_solution .
The station is Grade II listed https://www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1358405 .
