thumb|Uxbridge High Street and The Pavilions shopping centre thumb|Uxbridge Market House on the High Street The Chimes shopping centre was built beside Uxbridge station in 2001, incorporating many of the existing buildings into the new structure. The centre was originally to be named St George's Centre in plans dating back to the early 1990s, though this name was eventually taken by another shopping centre in Harrow. Instead, The Chimes was said to refer to the sound of the bells from the nearby market house on the High Street.Sherwood 2007, p. 58. An Odeon cinema opened as a major part of the centre, with the smaller cinema at the opposite end of the High Street closing.Sherwood 2007, p. 59. Some houses on Chippendale Way and the St George's car park were demolished to allow for the construction of the new shopping centre car park.Sherwood 2007, p. 64. The offices of the local building company Fassnidge were also included in the new development; built in the 19th century, they house a Pizza Express restaurant. Preserved timber from earlier demolished buildings in Uxbridge was used in the construction of a new building beside the former offices of Fassnidge, designed to resemble a much older structure.Sherwood 2007, pp. 62–63.
