Gunnersbury Station (GPS: 51.49151, -0.27537) is a station of the London Underground and the National Rail. It is located off Chiswick High Road in Chiswick, in the London Borough of Hounslow. The station is almost entirely hidden by the British Standards Institute skyscraper. You can see the London Underground and National Rail signages at the roadside. The railway tracks are immediately behind the building. It is served by the District Line of the London Underground and the North London Line of the London Overground. It is in Travelcard Zone 3.

On the District Line, it is between Kew Gardens Tube Station (heading towards Richmond) and Turnham Green Tube Station (heading towards Upminster). On the North London Line, it is between Kew Gardens (heading towards Richmond) and South Action (heading towards Stratford).

The Gunnersbury Tube Station was built in 1869 for the London and South Western Railway as a branch line to Richmond, and was originally known as the Brentford Road Station. Two years later it was given its present name. The Metropolitan District Railway - precursor to the District Line - began services here in 1877.

The station has an extraordinary history for calamity, as it had been damaged by tornado twice. The first time was on 8 December, 1954, and the second time, almost exactly 52 years later, on 7 December, 2006.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
