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 takes 30 minutes from Baker Street Station.
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.
