Northwick Park is a London Underground station on the Metropolitan Line. It is in Zone 4, and lies between Harrow-on-the-Hill and Preston Road.
It is served by 'slow' trains (fast trains are non-stop between Wembley Park and Harrow-on-the-Hill).
It is close to Northwick Park Hospital, the Harrow campus of the University of Westminster and the suburb of Kenton. Kenton station on the Bakerloo Line and Silverlink's Euston - Watford line is within walking distance, but is not treated as a valid connection by TfL.
