[edit] History

Kilburn Park opened on 31 January 1915 as the temporary terminus of the Bakerloo Line's extension from Paddington station towards Queen's Park. Services were extended to Queen's Park on 11 February 1915. At the extension's opening, Maida Vale station was not complete and the previous station was Warwick Avenue until 6 June 1915. The station building was designed by Stanley Heaps in a modified version of the earlier Leslie Green designed Bakerloo Line stations with glazed terra cotta façades but without the large semi-circular windows at first floor level. It was also one of the first London Underground stations built specifcally to use escalators rather than lifts.
