The station was opened as Kilburn & Brondesbury by the Metropolitan Railway in 1879, it kept this name until 1950 when it was renamed Kilburn [1]. As with other stations on this branch of the Metropolitan Line (as it became after the creation of London Transport in 1933) the station was taken over by the Bakerloo Line in 1939.

The station was rebuilt at the same time. An island platform serving the Bakerloo Line replacing two facing platforms. In 1940 the Metropolitan Line stopped serving the station, though continue to pass on through Kilburn [2] on the two outer tracks [3]. The Chiltern Main Line also passes the station.

In 1979 the Stanmore branch, including Kilburn, of the Bakerloo became the Jubilee Line. The station received a major refurbishment in 2005.
