You don't say what sort of house/ flat you want to find, or what kind of district you'd like to live in...
Well, you need to be on the Piccadilly line, and on the Uxbridge branch if you're further out than Acton Town station, that much we do know.

Hammersmith is more urban in feel, and is now expensive (people who couldn't afford Fulham moved here, so prices have soared.) But you may get lucky -- especially as the house-price slump starts to bite.

Acton (Acton Town tube) and Ealing (Ealing Common and North Ealing tube) are quite expensive these days (though not compared to Chelsea!) but have lovely old Victorian houses --lots of terraces, and usually very well-kept. Many are now divided into two or three small flats, which might suit you.
Transport is good, and these are generally nice neighbourhoods.

Further out, South Harrow is cheaper -- look here for good value flats (several large new-build blocks of flats are just nearing completion, so you'll be spoilt for choice) and for Victorian/Edwardian houses split into flats. Big Sri Lankan community, good Asian supermarkets and restaurants. Supermarkets = Sainsburys, Iceland, Waitrose. Good high street (with an excellent traditional British high-street greengrocer, Stanton's).

Further out again, Eastcote and Ruislip are also worth looking at, though the properties tend to be family houses. Good schools in the area mean house/rental prices will probably stay high. Supermarkets = Tesco Local, Waitrose (Ruislip), Sainsbury's (South Ruislip). Both districts have good high street stores.
Ruislip has a medieval church (St Martin's) and that end of the high street is very pretty. A short bus ride away is the big Ruislip Lido country park.

Ickenham and Uxbridge I expect you know, since they're so near your university.

Ok, hope that helps make some of those tube station names a little more real.

Acton, or Ealing will be a nice spot between Chelsea and Uxbridge.

Mr Rosenkrantz

Try Ealing. It has decent links to both.

Look on a map. Or www.rightmove.co.uk

put in the postcodes into www.rac.co.uk and you'll see it's anywhere on the M4 and then onto the M40.

By the way, I'm Scottish but I've been living in London for 10 years so that makes me more of a Londoner than a lot of them. Hope my answer is not void because of my nationality.

crumbridge is a wonderful area, full of many shops and things to do! Good luck!

This is right the opposite part of London to me, so I'm probably not much help, for the really local knowledge that can be so helpful but these are some places between the two.

Brentwood. Hayes. Southall.
