Opened in 1907 by the Metropolitan Railway on the line from London Baker Street to Amersham, this station closed in 1932 when more tracks were laid and it was replaced by a new station immediately behind the camera position. View south east towards Wembley Park and central London. The platforms would have been roughly where the right hand tracks now are.
