During the inter-war years, the Metropolitan Railway (the "M.R." seen on the station frontage) attempted to emulate the successful branding of the London Underground network (from which it still retained independence). The diamond was its answer to the Underground roundel; it can be seen on the top part of the station frontage and also in the shape of the clock. (Metropolitan Line trains no longer stop at Willesden Green; when the Metropolitan became part of the London Underground network, stopping services along this line were transferred to the Bakerloo Line (and from that, in the 1970s, to the Jubilee Line).
