Neasden tube station

Neasden station stands on the edge of north-west London, where the Jubilee line cuts through quiet residential streets. It sits between Wembley Park and Dollis Hill, with the Chiltern Main Line running just to the west. The Metropolitan line trains pass through without stopping, while the Jubilee line provides the main service. The station is in fare zone three, making it an outer-city stop. The station opened in 1880 as Kingsbury and Neasden, changing names twice before settling on Neasden in 1932. It once served as a terminus for local Metropolitan trains stabled in the nearby depot. The Bakerloo line took over in 1939, and the Jubilee line replaced it in 1979. The surface building has been altered over time, losing its original roof and chimneys, while the platforms reflect different eras of railway design. Visitors find a modest ticket office with barriers and a luggage gate added in the late 1990s. The station has a small shop and four platforms, two of which still show signs of their original 1880 construction. Platforms one and four occasionally serve Metropolitan line trains, while platforms two and three handle the Jubilee line. The remaining platform five was removed, leaving only a relief siding for the depot. Nearby, the Neasden Temple and Wembley Stadium offer further reasons to visit.
