<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Station History</strong></p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Although the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/District_Railway" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">District Railway</a> laid their new extension from Earl&#8217;s Court to Hammersmith in 1874, no station was provided here due to the rural nature of the Baron&#8217;s Court area.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">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.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Services through the station were improved fourteen months later, when the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Northern,_Piccadilly_and_Brompton_Railway" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Great Northern, Piccadilly and Brompton Railway</a> opened their line from Hammersmith to Finsbury Park on 15th December 1906.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">The formation of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Passenger_Transport_Board" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">London Passenger Transport Board</a> in 1933 saw both the District and GNP&amp;BR Railways absorbed into London Underground, becoming the District and Piccadilly Lines respectively.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Barons Court&#8217;s Harry Ford designed station building, which was similar to those provided at Earl&#8217;s Court and Hammersmith was granted <a href="https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1358562" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Grade II Listed status</a> as a building of architectural interest on 14th February 1985.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">During the 1990s, the station&#8217;s original features inclusing its terracotta tiling and unique platform benches were carefully restored to original condition.</p>
