Central Uxbridge or Uxbridge-ish?
Going up Hillingdon Hill expect vehicle drivers to ignore the marked bike lane on the road, and pedestrians to be surprised to see a cyclist on the shared pavement. The newly paved cycle lane alongside the service road, Hayes-ish, has been treated merely as additional parking space by the car servicing/selling guys.
Expect non-existent lane discipline through Southall and non-checking pedestrians striding into the road.
The wider road down to the Iron Bridge is less hectic. Through Hanwell & West Ealing the continuous parking makes the roadways narrower and less relaxing. Then you are into hippy territory.
