South Ruislip developed only in the twentieth century after the opening of the local station.

A GWR/GCR joint line was built to High Wycombe from both Paddington and Marylebone. The two railways met at Northolt Junction, situated slightly to the east of the station.

South Ruislip station was opened on 1 May 1908 and was originally known as Northolt Junction. The station then became South Ruislip & Northolt Junction in 1932 and received its present name on 30 June 1947.

The station was first served by the Central line on 21 November 1948 when the Central line extension from London towards West Ruislip was finished. The concrete, glass and granite chip frieze in the booking hall is one of the earliest public works by glass artist, Henry Haig.

I must start by thanking Pat of St Albans for sending me a card containing some flattering words about these articles which is much appreciated. Writing is a lonely task, which I undertake sitting in my attic with a rapidly ageing portrait painting of myself looking down at me. Even the photo of myself in this column is 10 years old, so remember that if you ever meet me, although I remain eye candy while that portrait survives. https://www.harrowtimes.co.uk/news/17575282.the-best-film-made-about-the-titanic/?ref=rss
