Until about the 1950s, Willesden Junction was a station of more than local importance. There were platforms on the main line, and passengers could change for a variety of destinations. On a long journey, passengers might prefer to continue their journey the day after, and it was to these that this hotel catered. It is no longer a residential hotel, and I doubt whether it is now open at all.
