The station was opened by the Metropolitan Railway in 1868. The Central London Railway opened it's deep-level platforms at Notting Hill Gate in 1900. However, the two stations were not linked until 1959 and until then had separate entrances [1].

The Circle and District Line platforms are a cut-and-cover station which retains it's original glass roof and many original features unlike some other stations along the line. The station was rebuilt in the 1950s (which is when the sub-surface and deep level parts were joined). The station was refurbished in 2010-11.
