The Metropolitan District Railway (MDR, 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 station building was originally a simple timber. This was 1930/31 demolished in preparation for the handover of the distance to the Piccadilly line and replaced by a new building. Frank Pick, Managing Director of London Underground, and the architect Charles Holden developed new metro stations that functionalism and art deco united and led the way for the British architecture of the interwar period. Sudbury Town was there the first of a series of structures of this kind Inaugurated on July 19, 1931 building consists of a massive, towering over a flat purpose built block of red brick with high clerestory, which a lot of natural daylight into the generously sized main hall leave. Since 1971, the station is a listed building (Grade II).
