SUDBURY HILL Piccadilly line (Uxbridge),

This is a surprisingly quiet expanse of woodland, streams and grassland, with some less common plants. If you are in the area it would be a perfectly pleasant spot for a lunch break or short stroll. Some lavender beds (clearly chosen with an eye to expected dry conditions) have been planted round a small, newly-created picnic area and work is in hand to clear some of the dense growth of ivy on the trees. Sandy paths lead to a stream, but the area is not suitable for buggies or pushchairs.

To reach it, turn right out of the Tube station and then go through an archway which leads to the David Lloyd sports club. Follow the lane past a nursery (children, not plants) and when you reach the end, bear left down a small path to find a metal gate that leads straight into the picnic area and woodland.
MAP

This is just one walk from the many to be found at London Tube Rambles. There are architectural gems, beautiful country views, historic places and whacky buildings to be found, even in the most unpromising areas covered by the Greater London Underground stations. Usually the places listed are within a mile of the Tube - often only five minutes walk away.
