Preston Road tube station is a station on the Metropolitan Line in London. It is in Zone 4, and lies between Northwick Park tube station and Wembley Park.
It is served by 'slow' trains (fast and semi-fast trains are non-stop between Wembley Park and Harrow-on-the-Hill station).
The horticultural displays on the platform have won many awards over the years, but fell into disrepair for some years. Fortunately with the current refurbishment of the station the floral decorations have since been revived, providing a cheerful touch of colour and a point of interest to entertain the traveller in the wait between trains.
The point where Preston Road crosses the railway line is the border between the postal areas of Harrow and Wembley.
The 10th Section of the Capital Ring passes the station.

“The rangey bough anticipated fruit
With snowballs cupped in every opening bud.
The road alone maintained itself in mud....”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“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)
“To act the part of a true friend requires more conscientious feeling than to fill with credit and complacency any other station or capacity in social life.”
—Sarah Ellis (1812–1872)
