Maida Vale opened on 6 June 1915 on the Bakerloo Line's extension from Paddington station to Queen's Park, although services had been running non-stop through the incomplete station to Kilburn Park since 31 January 1915 and to Queen's Park from 11 February 1915. The station is located at the junction of Elgin Avenue and Randolph Avenue and for a time prior to its opening the proposed name for the station was Elgin Avenue. The station building, designed by the Underground Group's architect Stanley A Heaps, was constructed in a modified style of the earlier Leslie Green designed Bakerloo Line stations with glazed terra cotta façades.
