Uxbridge, England
Uxbridge Interchange Purgatory
"Where the Piccadilly and Metropolitan Lines Both Give Up"
Official Coat of Arms
A shield bearing the Piccadilly Line roundel rampant, quartered with a shopping trolley abandoned in the Grand Union Canal, beneath a Nando's peri-peri flame crest and the motto rendered entirely in bus replacement timetable font.
TripAdvisor Review
★★★☆☆ 3/5
"Came for the Battle of Britain Bunker, stayed because the bus replacement service never arrived. The shopping centre has everything you need if what you need is a Wilko-shaped hole in your soul and a Nando's. RAF Uxbridge history is genuinely fascinating but the retail park afterwards will erase it from your memory instantly. Three stars because the pub near the Grand Union Canal genuinely slaps."— Gareth P, Ruislip
Property Listing
Nestled at the vibrant convergence of two tube lines that both terminate here for a reason, this charming Zone 6 gem offers unparalleled access to a shopping centre, a Wetherspoons named after a Battle of Britain airman, and the M25 for when you inevitably need to leave. Commuters will love the 'quick 50-minute hop' into central London, technically true if nothing goes wrong, which it will.
Twinned With
Slough — Both are West London's answer to 'what if a town was just a transport hub with a Wetherspoons attached'.
Supporting Evidence
Uxbridge tube station is the western terminus of both the Piccadilly and Metropolitan lines, meaning it is simultaneously the end of the line and, spiritually, the middle of nowhere.
