USS Dominik @ North Ealing

USS stands for underground’s secret search, and it is about exploring things around London’s underground station. Read more about it in my introduction: https://dominiksymonowicz.com/2017/07/07/uss-dominik-underground-secrets-search-introduction/

This station was open on 23 June 1903. I visited this station on 12.01’2019. At the time of writing this blog, I visited 12 stations this year (4%). Since I started this project, I visited 66 stations (24%), and I passed 167 stations. (62%). I passed 71% stations of the Piccadilly line so far.

North Ealing looks like a residential area for me without anything worth exploring.

Area maybe boring but the station is one of the hidden gems on the London Underground. It is a unique station that as according to Wikipedia:

“The South Harrow branch not rebuilt in the 1930s to the “Holden” style for the start of the Piccadilly Line service. It retains its slightly rural air as a result.” An 1930s railway sub-station is built alongside the Eastbound platform and is typical of the LPTB brick and concrete architectural style of the period.

This station has a unique architecture for Piccadilly line, and it has many original elements like old signs, clock and so on. Piccadilly line seems to be full of fantastically designed stations.

Trivia:

• It was serviced by District line in the past.
• It is the only station on Acton Town to Raynor’s lane branch that hasn’t been refurbished to Piccadilly line style when Piccadilly line took over this branch from District line

I didn’t see any interesting cafe, pub or European restaurant.
