Uxbridge is a town in west London, England, and the administrative headquarters of the London Borough of Hillingdon. Fifteen miles west-northwest of Charing Cross, Uxbridge is one of the major metropolitan centres identified in the London Plan.
Uxbridge historically formed part of the parish of Hillingdon in the county of Middlesex, and was a significant local commercial centre from an early time. 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. Uxbridge is a significant retail and commercial centre, and is the location of Brunel University and the Uxbridge campus of Buckinghamshire New University. The town is close to the boundary with Buckinghamshire, which is locally the River Colne.
Several historical events have taken place in and around the town, including attempted negotiations between King Charles I and the Parliamentary Army during the English Civil War. The public house at the centre of those events, since renamed the Crown & Treaty, still stands. Uxbridge also houses the Battle of Britain Bunker, from where the air defence of the south-east of England was coordinated during the Battle of Britain. Situated in RAF Uxbridge, the No. 11 Group Operations Room within the bunker played a crucial rule during the battle and was later used during the D-Day landings. The wards of Uxbridge North and Uxbridge South are used for the election of councillors to Hillingdon Council and for statistical purposes.
The landscape upon which the settlement of Uxbridge was established is largely unchanged from the Mesolithic era. Much of it was covered by oak and elm trees, which were gradually cleared by early settlers. The River Pinn runs through Uxbridge, passing through the former site of RAF Uxbridge and the grounds of Brunel University. It joins the Frays River, which branches off from the River Colne and acts as the boundary between Uxbridge and the neighbouring county of Buckinghamshire.
Uxbridge tube station is the western terminus for branches of the Metropolitan and Piccadilly lines of the London Underground. There were once two railway stations: Uxbridge Vine Street (originally just Uxbridge Station) and Uxbridge High Street. Both were planned to be linked, hence High Street ending on a half-built bridge.

Vlog #6 - Out For a Rip (Bahd!)
In this instalment of 'Kinda Decent Vlogs' we encounter the home of Dan, Jordan and Adam for the first time... A small country town just North of Toronto, Ontario named Uxbridge.
Adam introduces us to some new friendly faces while taking us on a rip through the town! Wacky hijinks ensue as we travel Santa's village, meet jesbus crisp, drop a few beats, and review the cult classic film, 'The Goonies'!
Sidenote: This is the final vlog that will be filmed with a sub-par iPod touch camera. We're going places now. We got some nice HD visuals coming your way with a new Canon!
