Kenton is a railway station on the Watford DC line and the Bakerloo line, situated on Kenton Road in Kenton, north-west London. The station is served by London Overground and London Underground services. It has an out of station interchange (OSI) with Northwick Park station on the London Underground's Metropolitan line. On the London Underground’s Bakerloo line, the station is between Harrow & Wealdstone and South Kenton stations.

History

The station was one of several built on the London and North Western Railway's "New Line" from Camden to Watford Junction which enabled local services from Watford Junction station to reach Euston station and Broad Street station in London. The New Line was mostly alongside main line of the London and Birmingham Railway in 1837. ^{[citation needed]}

Kenton station was opened on 15 June 1912.^[9] It has only ever had platforms on the New Line; parallel main line services call at Harrow and Wealdstone station, one stop to the north, with some also calling at Wembley Central station, three stops to the south. ^{[citation needed]}

Bakerloo line services began on 16 April 1917.^[10] On 24 September 1982, Bakerloo line services to Kenton ended when services north of Stonebridge Park were ended.^[10] The closure was short-lived, and the Bakerloo line service was reinstated on 4 June 1984.^[10]

The station's former coal yard on the east side of the railway, no longer needed for the trains, is now occupied by a Sainsbury's supermarket. ^{[citation needed]}
