Description
West Drayton station is situated to the north of the centre of West Drayton and immediately to the south of the Grand Union Canal, in the London Borough of Hillingdon.
The station has five platform faces. From south to north there is a platform on the down (away from London) fast line, an island platform with faces on the up fast line and the down relief (slow) line, and an island platform with faces on the up relief line and on a loop line to the north of the up relief originally used by trains on the two branch lines. The platforms on the fast lines see little use, other than when the slow lines are closed for maintenance. Access between the platforms is via steps and a pedestrian underpass. Stockley Park is a large business estate located between Hayes and West Drayton, and is shown on the platform signage.

“He hath achieved a maid
That paragons description and wild fame;
One that excels the quirks of blazoning pens.”
