History

The station was first opened by the London and North Western Railway on 15 June 1912 as part of the "New Line" between Euston and Watford Junction; LER, Bakerloo Line services began on 16 April 1917. It was built to the same general design as the other new stations on the same line and the layout at North Wembley station makes it almost identical to Kenton two stops to the north with occasional confusion caused to passengers who fail to check the name signs. Ticket gates and departure boards were recently installed at this station.
