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/

Chorleywood is in the Zone 7. This station was open on 08.07’1889. I visited this station on 18.08’2018.. At the time of writing this blog, I visited 0 stations this year (0%). Since I started this project, I visited 91 stations (33%), and I passed 222 stations. (81%).

It is suburb village in metroland that is surrounded by many green areas. It is a great place to pop in if you want go for long walks, hikes or runs.

Trivia

The last station within Hertfordshire.
This station has a few names It starts as Chorley Wood then renamed to Chorley Wood & Chenies then went back to Chorley Wood 1934 and in 1964 renamed to Chorleywood.
One of the 5 stations that are outside of M25.
Least used station on the Metropolitan line.
The name literally means “peasant’s wood”.
One of the four underground stations has a rare phone box (K8 model). K8 on the underground were non-red as this colour was used for public use, so they painted in different colours to mark them as for staff only. Only 57 out of around 11000 were ever built in the ’60s. This model wasn’t as popular as the iconic red K6 model from 30′.

Is any stunning walks nearby?

A several minutes away from the station there is a Carpenters Wood. It is an ancient Chilterns beechwood. There are cycle and horse paths. You can see Roe deer if you lucky enough. Another place is a Chorleywood Common, but there is nothing excited about it. It is one of start/finish point for the Chess valley walk between Rickmansworth and Chesham.
