The station was opened by the Great Northern Railway in 1872 as the terminus of a branch line of the GNR route from Finsbury Park to Edgware. The station later became part of the LNER but in 1940 [1] was taken over by the London Underground as part of the Northern Heights project. LNER services stopped in 1941 though freight traffic continued until 1962.
Most of the original GNR station remains in place though the station has been upgraded to offer step-free access. There is also stabling for Northern Line trains next to the station. Northern Line trains depart up to every three minutes to Morden or Battersea Power Station.
