The station is located on the south side of Western Avenue, at the point where the Piccadilly line, running approximately north/south passes under Western Avenue which runs approximately east/west.
There are two entrances/exits the west exit emerges into a triangular lay-bye off Western Avenue, whilst the east exit emerges onto Western Avenue itself.
As you leave the west exit and turn left, the stop (with shelter) for buses 95 and 487 to Alperton and Greenford is on your right, followed by a post box and two telephone boxes with coin and card phones. There is a row of shops on your left, before you reach a junction with roads to your left (9 and 11 o'clock) leading round Hanger Green and one at 1 o'clock leading back onto Western Avenue. There is a cab office on the 1 o'clock road, after the car wash. Cross the two roads on your left then down the kerb and across a wide entrance to the car wash forecourt. There is a slight slope up the drop kerb before the door to the cab office on your left.
The stop for buses to White City is in a lay bye off Western Avenue, between the stair and slope exits from the subway. There is a gap in the railings at this point. Note that barriers in the subway to prevent its use by cyclists and skate boarders probably preclude wheelchair access to this facility.
As you turn right out of the west exit, you pass a sandwich bar on your right before the pavement bears right into Western Avenue. There is a blank wall between this and the east entrance. Continuing (east) beyond the entrance there is a number of bike stands on your right before you reach the gap to the subway. Western Avenue is a busy dual carriage way which can only be crossed via this subway, (see "The Subway" in Detailed Description" for details).
