A former market town and coaching stop, now part of London, in the London Borough of Hillingdon, of which it is the administrative headquarters. It is served by Uxbridge Station - and formerly had two other, rail stations, Uxbridge High Street Station and Uxbridge Vine Street Station. The Grand Union Canal is close by, and the Treaty of Uxbridge was signed during the Civil War.
As part of the suburban growth of London in the 20th century it expanded and increased in population, becoming a municipal borough in 1955, and has formed part of Greater London since 1965. It is a significant retail and commercial centre, and is the location of Brunel University and the Uxbridge campus of Buckinghamshire New University.
