Sudbury Hill tube station

Sudbury Hill is a London Underground station in the north-west of London. It stands on the Piccadilly line’s Uxbridge branch, between South Harrow and Sudbury Town stations. The station sits on Greenford Road near the corner with Whitton Avenue, where the boroughs of Harrow and Ealing meet. A second station, Sudbury Hill Harrow, is close by on a different railway line. The station opened in 1903 when the District Railway began electric services to South Harrow. In 1930 and 1931 the original building was pulled down and replaced by a modern design from Charles Holden. The new station has a tall brick ticket hall above low horizontal wings for shops and facilities. Its flat concrete roof and clerestory windows give it a clean, European look shared with nearby stations such as Sudbury Town and Alperton. In 1932 the Piccadilly line took over the branch east of Ealing Common, making Sudbury Hill part of the Tube’s western route. The station became a Grade II listed building in 1994 and gained step-free access with two lifts in 2021. Inside, the ticket hall is a single open space with wide stairs down to the platforms. The platforms themselves are standard deep-level tube style, lit by fluorescent tubes and lined with cream tiles. Above ground, the brick ticket hall and flat roof stand out against the busy road junction. Buses stop outside day and night, linking the station to local streets and the surrounding suburbs.
