Uxbridge tube station - stained glass windows
The stained glass windows are by the Hungarian artist Ervin Bossányi (1891-1975) who emigrated to the UK in 1934 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ervin_Boss%C3%A1nyi. He also made stained glass windows for the University of London, the Tate Gallery, the Victoria and Albert Museum, York Minster, Canterbuy Cathedral and the National Cathedral in Washington DC.
The left hand window shows the coat of arms of (the former) Middlesex County Council https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middlesex_County_Council that was abolished in the mid-1960s with the formation of the Greater London Council. The right hand window shows the swan that is on the flag and coat of arms of Buckinghamshire https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckinghamshire. And the central window carries the coat of arms of the Basset family: in about 1180 Gilbert Basset, keeper of the Honor of Wallingford in Berkshire, granted the people of Uxbridge permission to hold a market every Thursday https://www.hillingdon.gov.uk/article/8987/Uxbridge.

Uxbridge Station: Entrance hall
Seen from inside looking out, we see the attractive stained-glass windows. On the left in the Crown and Three Scimitars of Middlesex, and on the right the White Swan of Buckinghamshire. I do not know the origin of the shield in the centre, but it does not seem to be the arms of any of the other Counties served by the Metropolitan Railway.
