The station was designed by Charles Holden and opened on 13 September 1926 as part of the Morden extension of the City & South London Railway (now part of the Northern line). It was named Trinity Road (Tooting Bec) when it opened and was given its present name in 1950. The narrow satellite building on the east side of the junction provides a pedestrian subway access to the station and is unusual in that it has a large glazed roundel on each of the three panels of its glazed screen, as normally the Morden extension stations have the roundel in just the centre panel. For many years the northern panel of the screen was the sole example on any of the Morden extension stations to retain the 1920s "UNDERGROUND" lettering, the other stations' screens having been replaced with plain glass over the years. All the stations have now had the original motif replaced
