Walm Lane, LONDON, NW2 4RA

Viewed along Walm Lane. The station opened in 1879. The buildings seen here date from the reconstruction of 1925. The station is on the Jubilee Line and is between Dollis Hill and Kilburn. Metropolitan Line trains pass through the station, but do not normally stop. The station was Grade II listed in November 2006. The listing text summarises the station's importance thus: "A rebuilt underground station of 1925 by C.W. Clark the architect for the Metropolitan Railway Company. It is of special architectural interest for its distinctive cream terracotta facade, which Clark had used at Great Portland Street (Grade II, 1912) and Farringdon (Grade II, 1925), original lettering, integral and original shopfronts, and its well surviving ticket hall with the equally distinctive and increasingly rare sea green brick tiles. It also has historic interest as it was designed to project a strong corporate image of the interwar development of the Metropolitan line as well as being an underground station of this date built in a traditional style just before the dramatic move to modernism that Charles Holden brought to the Piccadilly Line. The interest is concentrated at street level and the steps down to the platforms. The areas beneath this are not of interest, the Victorian platforms having been faced with late C20 tiles."

During the inter-war years, the Metropolitan Railway (the "M.R." seen on the station frontage) attempted to emulate the successful branding of the London Underground network (from which it still retained independence). The diamond was its answer to the Underground roundel; it can be seen on the top part of the station frontage and also in the shape of the clock. Metropolitan Line trains no longer stop at Willesden Green; when the Metropolitan became part of the London Underground network, stopping services along this line were transferred to the Bakerloo Line (and from that, in the 1970s, to the Jubilee Line).
