The opening of the station took place on October 30, 1871 by the Metropolitan Railway (today's Metropolitan Line ). However, the line had already been opened in 1864 by the Hammersmith & City Railway , which initially belonged to the Great Western Railway and three years later came into the possession of the Metropolitan Railway . In 1990 the Hammersmith branch of the Metropolitan Line became operationally independent under the name Hammersmith & City Line. Circle Line trains have also stopped here since December 13, 2009.
