Uxbridge

Ward in Hillingdon, England

Coordinates:51.543, -0.48
OS grid ref:TQ 05 83
Dialling code: 01895

Uxbridge (electoral ward) sits at the heart of the busy town of Uxbridge in the west of the London Borough of Hillingdon. The ward covers the town centre and immediate surroundings, with strong transport links by tube (the Metropolitan and Piccadilly lines), good road access to the M25 and nearby Heathrow, and the Grand Union Canal threading close by - all of which help make it a commuter and local retail hub.

Economically the ward mixes independent shops and larger retail centres with office space and a significant student presence thanks to Brunel University, producing a lively, mixed demographic. Historically Uxbridge grew as a market and coaching town and even hosted 17th‑century Civil War negotiations, so the area combines traditional architecture and civic buildings with more recent regeneration and community facilities that reflect its role as both a local centre and a gateway to the west of London.
