The station was opened as
Acton Green by the Metropolitan District Railway in 1879 [1]. It was later renamed
Chiswick Park & Acton Green in 1887 before the final change to just
Chiswick Park in 1910.
The station was rebuilt in 1933 with a Charles Holden designed "brick drum" for the ticket hall [2]. The station was rebuilt for the Piccadilly Line Eastern extension though the Piccadilly has never stopped at Chiswick Park, the line's trains instead usually pass through on the two central fast lines. This means the two platforms are separated by a fair distance. Both platforms have an extensive concrete canopy.
