Hatton Cross is a London Underground station on the Heathrow branch of the Piccadilly Line.
Hatton Cross station is located close to Heathrow airport in Hatton adjacent to the Great South West Road (A30) on the airport’s Southern Perimeter Road.
It opened on 19 July 1975 in the first phase of the extension of the Piccadilly line from Hounslow West to Heathrow Airport and it remained the terminus until Heathrow Central opened on 16 December 1977.
The station serves a large area including Feltham to the south and Bedfont to the west and was named after the crossroads of the Great South West Road and Hatton Road.
On its opening in 1975, Hatton Cross was one of 279 active stations on the London Underground, the highest ever total; the number of stations in the network has since decreased.
Hatton Cross is also the nearest underground station to the popular plane spotting location of Myrtle Avenue, and for this reason is commonly used by plane spotters travelling to the area.
