Latimer Road station opened on 16th December 1868 at a junction formed between two existing railway lines – the Hammersmith & City Railway opened on 13th June 1864 (owned by the Great Western Railway and running between Westbourne Park and Hammersmith stations) and the West London Railway (WLR) opened on 1st July 1864 to Addison Road (now Kensington Olympia). The link to Addison Road was closed on 19th October 1940 and the junction no longer exists. Trains on the Hammersmith & City Line serve the station and now also, in an effort to improve its reliability, the Circle Line. The next station in this direction is Wood Lane. The afternoon was quite as miserable as it looks in the photograph.
