Location
The station building is located on the corner of Acacia Road and Finchley Road[5] and tube maps from late 1938 and early 1939 indicate that it was originally to be given the name Acacia Road or Acacia.[citation needed] This station is the nearest to Lord's Cricket Ground and Abbey Road Studios.[5] The station is therefore not to be confused with Abbey Road DLR station in east London.
History
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. The station was opened on 20 November 1939 on a new section of deep-level tunnel constructed between Baker Street and Finchley Road when the Metropolitan line's services on its Stanmore branch were transferred to the Bakerloo line. It was transferred along with the rest of the Stanmore branch to the Jubilee line when it opened in 1979.
With the opening of St. John's Wood station, two nearby stations on the Metropolitan line were closed. These were Lord's (which had been opened with the name St. John's Wood Road before being renamed St. John's Wood and then Lord's) and Marlborough Road.
The station today
The station building is Grade II listed.[6]
The platform design remains the same as when opened in 1939, as designed by Harold Stabler. In 2006 the tiles were cleaned up and replaced.[7]
The station contains ticket halls, gates, escalators, payphones, toilets and a Wifi service.[8] It also has cash machines, dispensing pounds sterling and euros.[8]
Services
Train frequencies vary throughout the day, but generally operate every 2–5 minutes between 05:54 and 00:18 in both directions.[9][10]
