The branch between Wembley Park and Stanmore was opened by the Metropolitan Railway on the 10th December 1932. It was much harder to construct than anticipated and amongst the heavy works was the diversion of the Wealdstone Brook. It became part of the Bakerloo Line in 1939 when that line was extended from Baker Street to Finchley Road, from there taking over the Metropolitan's old slow tracks to Wembley Park before the Bakerloo continued to Stanmore. In 1979 it became part of the Jubilee Line to Charing Cross, and in 1999 was linked to Stratford by the Jubilee Line Extension. This view looks back towards the station building on London Road.
