Brief description
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uxbridge
2025:
"Uxbridge (/ˈʌksbrɪdʒ/) is a suburban town in west London, England, and the administrative headquarters of the London Borough of Hillingdon, 15.4 miles (24.8 km) northwest of Charing Cross.[2] Uxbridge formed part of the parish of Hillingdon in the county of Middlesex. 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 part of Greater London in 1965.
Attempted negotiations between King Charles I and the Parliamentary Army during the English Civil War took place at a public house called the Crown and Treaty. RAF Uxbridge houses the Battle of Britain Bunker, from where the air defence of the south-east of England was coordinated during the Battle of Britain especially from its No. 11 Group Operations Room, also used during the D-Day landings.
Today the town serves as a significant retail and commercial centre; it also houses Brunel University London as well as a campus of Buckinghamshire New University.[3] A part of the town which has large converted flour mills adjoins Buckinghamshire, the boundary being the River Colne.
According to the 2021 census the population is 17,962"
