The Metropolitan District Railway (MDR, predecessor of today's District Line ) opened on June 28, 1903 a new route from Park Royal & Twyford Abbey to South Harrow. The section between Ealing Common and Park Royal & Twyford Abbey was opened five days before. The new route was - together with the existing tracks from Acton Town - the first electrified underground rail line, the Underground. On July 4, 1932, the operation was transferred to the distance between Ealing Common and Rayners Lane on the Piccadilly Line.

The original station building was made of wood. It was in 1930/31, in preparation for the handover of the distance to the Piccadilly Line, demolished and replaced by a new building. According to the plans of Charles Holden a building that functionalism and art deco was united. It consists of a massive, towering over a flat purpose built block of red brick with high clerestory, which let a lot of natural daylight into the generously sized main hall. Since 1994, the station is a listed building (Grade II), together with the adjacent substation.
