Uxbridge is the civic and commercial centre of Hillingdon, at the terminus of the Metropolitan and Piccadilly lines where London meets the Buckinghamshire border. The listed-building set is one of the richest in outer west London, at 67 entries, led by the Grade II* Market House, the Grade II* Church of St Margaret and the Grade II* Crown and Treaty Inn. The food and nonFood venue counts of 155 and 89 reflect a proper town centre with its own catchment, and around ten percent of the ward falls inside a conservation area. Nature scores come in at 63 with 68 hectares of green space. The drawbacks are the ones that come with a busy terminus town. Safety scores are weak at 29, reflecting theft and nightlife figures around the bus station and high street, pollution scores are middling at 59, and only eight outstanding-rated schools sit within reach, which is shallow given the scale of the town.

Uxbridge, quick answers
- Is Uxbridge safe?
- Uxbridge scores 30 for safety, based on street-level recorded crime (police.uk) — recording more crime than most London wards. The score weighs personal safety, property crime and anti-social behaviour separately rather than ranking on one raw total, so the mix of crime matters as well as the volume.
- Is Uxbridge a good place to live?
- Uxbridge scores 41 overall when all nine data layers are weighted equally. The London comparison beside the score shows how that number ranks against every ward. Its strongest suits are property prices & growth (65) and nature access (63); its weakest is area development (4). Whether it suits you depends on what you weight — the same data re-ranked around your own priorities can read very differently.
- How well connected is Uxbridge?
- Moderate public-transport access: Transport for London rates the typical spot in Uxbridge 3 on its 0–8 public-transport access scale, which puts the ward at 39 for connectivity relative to the rest of London.
- Is Uxbridge expensive to buy in?
- Relative to the rest of London, Uxbridge is mid-priced by London standards: its purchase-affordability score is 14/20, where higher means cheaper per square foot (HM Land Registry sold prices matched to floor areas).
- What are the schools like near Uxbridge?
- Uxbridge scores 45 for education, based on Ofsted ratings and walking distance to the nearest rated primary and secondary schools. 1 school within a kilometre holds an Outstanding rating.
