South Kenton station

South Kenton station stands in the Wembley postal area of the London Borough of Brent. It sits between Kenton and North Wembley stations on the Bakerloo line of the London Underground and the Lioness line of the London Overground. The station lies between The Link in the Sudbury Court Estate and Windermere Grove in Kenton. It opened in 1933 with a footbridge that was later replaced by a pedestrian tunnel. The building was designed by architect William Henry Hamlyn in a modern concrete and glass style. The station is worth a visit for its unusual features. It has an island platform where Bakerloo line train doors are not level with the platform, requiring a downward step. The ticket office occupies the north end of the 1933 streamlined waiting room. It is one of only three London Underground stations without ticket gates, and none are planned. Wheelchair access is not available due to the restrictive layout. The station offers connections to London Buses route 223. Visitors find a small but functional station with a historic pub called The Windermere nearby. Trains run every fifteen minutes on both the Bakerloo line and the Lioness line. Southbound services reach Central London while northbound trains head to Harrow & Wealdstone or Watford Junction. The station’s modernist design from the 1930s remains a notable feature of the area.
