Edgware Road is one of the oldest stations on the Underground being part of the Metropolitan Railway's original line between Paddington and Farringdon [1]. The station is built in a cutting, East to the station used to be the Metropolitan Railway's engine and carriage sheds [2] before they were moved to Neasden due to a lack of space in the early 1880s.

The station was built with a high arched roof of wrought iron and glass and was unique in being dressed with artificial stone [3]. The station is served by three sub-surface lines with thirty-six trains an hour.
