Market Square, UXBRIDGE, UB8 1SR

Dating from 1546, this is reputed to be the oldest pub in Uxbridge, a town which had a large number of coaching inns, being on the route from London to Oxford.

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.

This pub on Windsor Street, close to the Underground station and the church, was built in the 19th century but it is known that there has been a public house here since at least 1544 and possibly much earlier. The pub survived an arson attack in 1966.

Ideally placed for the returning commuter after his long journey on the Metropolitan or Piccadilly line.

This is the High Street entrance to the station, which was opened in 1938, enabling the closure of the previous Underground terminus off Belmont Road. The opening, and the introduction of fast direct trains to London from the centre of Uxbridge, saw the rapid demise of one of the Great Western Railway's terminus stations in the town, High Street, which closed to passengers in 1939 on the outbreak of the Second World War and never reopened afterwards, while the other former Great Western terminus station at Vine Street lingered on until closure in 1962. Today both Metropolitan and Piccadilly Line trains operate from here. Under the current scheduling the earliest weekday Metropolitan Line train leaves at 0512 and the last Piccadilly Line train arrives back at 0131 hours so the station is hardly shut at all.
