Queensbury Station Parade
The entrance to Queensbury Underground station is in the centre of this building. The Metropolitan Line had already opened their branch line from Wembley Park to Stanmore two years previously when this station was opened in December 1934. The operation of the line passed to the Bakerloo Line in 1939 and finally to the Jubilee Line in 1979.

View south from Queensbury Underground station
The branch between Wembley Park and Stanmore was opened by the Metropolitan Railway in 1932. It was much harder to construct than anticipated and amongst the heavy works was the diversion of the Wealdstone Brook. Queensbury station opened on 16th December 1934, two years after the neighbouring stations. The name of Queensbury was the winner of a competition run by a Golders Green estate agent (Percy H Edwards) to come up with a title for the new district to the north of Kingsbury. Traffic on the railway grew only slowly, possibly because the Metropolitan charged main line fares. People found it cheaper to go to Edgware by bus and take the Hampstead Tube. Queensbury was the most rapidly- developed estate in north-west London. The landscape was largely flat and devoid of natural features.
The branch 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 is from the down platform, looking back towards Fryent Country Park on the skyline.
