Kingsbury tube station

Kingsbury station stands on the Jubilee line in north-west London, between Queensbury and Wembley Park. It sits in the London Borough of Brent, a short distance from Kingsbury Road. The station belongs to London fare zone four. Although deep-level tube trains serve it today, the track can still carry larger surface-gauge trains on occasion. The building opened in December 1932 as part of the Metropolitan Railway’s Stanmore branch. After London Transport took over in 1933, the line became part of the Metropolitan line, then the Bakerloo line in 1939, and finally the Jubilee line in 1979. Its design echoes other Metropolitan Railway stations from the same period. The name ‘Kingsbury’ is a fiction; the real Kingsbury lies closer to Neasden station. The entrance sits in a parade of shops on the south side of Kingsbury Road. Across the road is Berkeley Road. London Buses routes 79, 183, 204 and 324 stop outside, along with night route N98, Superloop SL10 and route 644.
