The current station was opened on November 20, 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 subsequently transferred along with the rest of the Stanmore branch to the Jubilee Line when it opened on May 1 1979.
