Station History

Although the District Railway laid their new extension from Earl’s Court to Hammersmith in 1874, no station was provided here due to the rural nature of the Baron’s Court area.

The turn of the 20th century saw the situation change with rapid housing development taking place. This change led to the District Railway constructing a station at Barons Court that opened for service on 9th October 1905.

Services through the station were improved fourteen months later, when the Great Northern, Piccadilly and Brompton Railway opened their line from Hammersmith to Finsbury Park on 15th December 1906.

The formation of the London Passenger Transport Board in 1933 saw both the District and GNP&BR Railways absorbed into London Underground, becoming the District and Piccadilly Lines respectively.

Barons Court’s Harry Ford designed station building, which was similar to those provided at Earl’s Court and Hammersmith was granted Grade II Listed status as a building of architectural interest on 14th February 1985.

During the 1990s, the station’s original features inclusing its terracotta tiling and unique platform benches were carefully restored to original condition.
