Geocache Description:

There is no pen for the log book please bring your own. Please re-hide where you have found it as the area is very busy with commuters and cars on the Great West Road. Parking is free at weekends and evenings but not in the week.

There is a new container - larger so able to hold swaps.
No need to move from the corner. It is hidden under ivy
The current Osterley station was opened on 25 March 1934 adjacent to the Great West Road which had been opened in 1925. The station was designed by Stanley Heaps in the modern European style used elsewhere on the Piccadilly line by Charles Holden. The design uses brick, reinforced concrete and large areas of glass and features a brick tower topped with a concrete "obelisk". It was served from its outset by trains from the District and Piccadilly Lines, although District Line services were withdrawn on 9 October 1964.

Osterley station was a replacement for an earlier station; Osterley & Spring Grove located about 300m to the east which was closed when Osterley opened.
