Ealing Common was opened by the District Railway in 1879 on it's extension from Turnham Green to Ealing Broadway. The station was renamed Ealing Common & West Acton in 1886. It kept this name until 1910 when it reverted back to the original one [1]. Electric trains began operating at Ealing Common in 1905.
The Piccadilly Line reached Ealing Common in 1932 after it was extended from Hammersmith [2]. The Piccadilly Line took over the District Line branch to South Harrow (now the Uxbridge branch). The station was rebuilt in 1930-31 with a new Charles Holden building replacing the original 1879 structure. To the East of the station is the District Line's Ealing Common depot.
