The station was opened in 1907 by the Charing Cross, Euston & Hampstead Railway, the original name mooted for the station being Seymour Street. The station was little used compared to other stations on the line and for a long time was not open on weekends with trains to Edgware not stopping at the station. The station was closed in 1992 to replace the lifts, due to funding issues and complications with the project the station remained closed for six years but re-opened in 1998. After it's re-opening (which at times was not certain [1]) the station has been open on weekends. The station retains it's original Leslie Green designed building and original blue tiles.

The station is probably most known for the spoof game Mornington Crescent which is featured on the long running Radio 4 comedy show "I'm sorry I haven't a clue".
