The District Railway opened a line to Hounslow in 1884 which was to become a part of the London Underground network, used by Piccadilly Line trains from 1933. District Line trains were withdrawn in 1964, but the extension of the line in stages from the 1970s to serve Heathrow Airport has made this route one of the most important parts of the network. The current station building on Lampton Road dates from 1912.
