Eastcote (London Underground)

Eastcote is an overground station of the London Underground in the London Borough of Hillingdon . It is in the Travelcard tariff zone 5 on Field End Road. Served by the Metropolitan Line and the Piccadilly Line , the station was used by 2.63 million passengers in 2013.

The route of the Metropolitan Railway (predecessor company of the Metropolitan Line) between Harrow-on-the-Hill and Uxbridge existed since July 4, 1904 and was electrified six months later. The Eastcote station was built retrospectively due to the low density of buildings at the time and opened on May 26, 1906. From March 1, 1910, trains of the District Line stopped here until they were replaced on October 23, 1933 by those of the Piccadilly Line.

Based on a design by Charles Holden , the station building was completely rebuilt between 1937 and 1939. Like the other buildings of this era, it is characterized by a cube-shaped counter hall made of bricks and glass, as well as strict geometric shapes. It has been a listed building ( Grade II ) since 1994 .
