All platforms in Queen's Park are above ground. The entrance to the inner city tunnel of the Bakerloo Line is around 300 meters east of the station. There is an interesting route to the west of the station: the Bakerloo Line trains run through a depot shed to get onto the railroad tracks in the direction of Watford. Around a third of the underground trains turn in Queen's Park.

The station on the West Coast Main Line , which has existed since 1837, was opened on June 2, 1879 by the London and North Western Railway (LNWR). This began on June 15, 1912, the electrical suburban traffic on parallel tracks (the so-called Watford DC Line ). The Bakerloo Line reached Queen's Park on February 11, 1915. From May 10, 1915, the subway continued on the tracks of the LNWR to Willesden Junction .
