Stonebridge Park station is a Network Rail station in Tokyngton, in the London Borough of Brent. It is served by London Overground (Watford DC Line) and London Underground (Bakerloo line) services, which use the same platforms. The station is between Wembley Central and Harlesden stations.
It takes its name from the nearby junction named Stonebridge Park, which links the A406 (North Circular Road) and A404.
The station is in Argenta Way, near Tokyngton Avenue. It is close to the North Circular Road.[4].

[edit] History
The first station opened in 1875 and closed in 1902 [5] and another was built by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway. It was severely damaged in World War II and by two later major fires. From 24 September 1982 to 4 June 1984 it was the northern terminus of the Bakerloo line.
The line serving the station was opened by the London and North Western Railway as part of their "New Line" project on 15 June 1912 and was first used by Bakerloo line trains on 16 April 1917. One of the generating stations supplying this network was on the site of the current London Underground depot north west of the station. The carriage shed, now without direct connection to the DC line, between Stonebridge Park station and Stonebridge Park LU depot was originally built to house LNWR stock using the DC line.
[edit] Location Confusion

The station is technicially located in Tokyngton. Stonebridge Park is the name of the nearby junction. On the OS map, the station is located exactly on the boundary of Tokyngton and Stonebridge. The station's postcode is NW10, which is the postcode of Stonebridge. Although as the station is located in Argenta Way, the street-name sign tells us that the postcode is HA9, which is Wembley's postcode.
This confusion has been here for a very long time. There are no plans by TfL in renaming the station.
[edit] Bus connections
This station is served by four London Bus routes, 112, 440 and PR2 and school route 611 stops opposite the station entrance.
Routes 18 and Night route N18 run nearby on Harrow Road. Due to its proximity to the Jubilee line stations, it is sometimes used during weekend engineering works as a terminus for rail replacement bus services, despite the fact that the Jubilee Line does not actually stop at Stonebridge Park.
[edit] Future Developments
The proposed West London Orbital will call at this station. The underground railway will run between Brent Cross and Surbiton. The railway is still on the proposal stage and is not approved or funded at present.
