Perivale is a London Underground station in Perivale in north-west London. It is located on the West Ruislip branch of the Central line, between Greenford and Hanger Lane stations, and is in Travelcard Zone 4.

History

The Great Western Railway opened "Perivale Halt" on 2 May 1904 but was closed when the current London Underground station was opened on 30 June 1947. It was designed in 1938 but completion was delayed by the Second World War. A planned tower and extended wing were never constructed, leaving the station smaller than intended.[3] In July 2011 the station was one of 16 London Underground stations that were made a Grade II listed building.[4]

Today

Located in the London Borough of Ealing, the station is located on the Central line between Hanger Lane and Greenford stations, in Travelcard Zone 4. The station's façade fronts onto Horsenden Lane South. Outside is a dry cleaner and a newsagent's kiosk, which is closed on Sundays.
