The station entrance was situated on the site of the present-day Holland Park Roundabout.
Uxbridge Road station – and the branch line – closed on 21 October 1940 during World War II, when the West London Line was put out of service by German bombs.

“The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
“The last best hope of earth, two trillion dollars in debt, is spinning out of control, and all we can do is stare at a flickering cathode-ray tube as Ollie “answers” questions on TV while the press, resolutely irrelevant as ever, asks politicians if they have committed adultery. From V-J Day 1945 to this has been, my fellow countrymen, a perfect nightmare.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
“...I believe it is now the duty of the slaves of the South to rebuke their masters for their robbery, oppression and crime.... No station or character can destroy individual responsibility, in the matter of reproving sin.”
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
