The station was opened by the London & North Western Railway in 1912 as part of the Watford DC electrified line out of London Euston. Harlesden still retains many of it's original LNWR features. It was transferred to Transport for London in 2007.
The Bakerloo Line began serving Harlesden in 1917 [1] after the building of a junction at
Queen's Park, this was the first time tube trains and main line trains has shared the same tracks [2] though the difference in train heights and thus the problems with the different height of the platform and the tube train is a problem that persists to the present day.
