'''Stonebridge Park''' is an [[interchange station]] in [[Tokyngton]] and [[Stonebridge, London|Stonebridge]], north-west [[London]]. It is on the [[Bakerloo line]] of the [[London Underground]] and the [[Lioness line]] of the [[London Overground]], between [[Wembley Central station|Wembley Central]] and [[Harlesden station|Harlesden]] stations. The station is located on Argenta Way, and is named after the nearby junction connecting the North Circular Road ([[A406]]) with the Harrow Road ([[A404 road|A404]]).<ref>Address according to Network Rail and Royal Mail (postcode NW10 0RL).</ref>

==History==
{{maplink |frame=yes |frame-align=left |frame-width=240 |frame-height=180 |type=point |marker=rail |marker-color=<!--Default--> |zoom=15 |text=Location of Stonebridge Park station }}
[[File:Class 501 at Stonebridge Park - geograph.org.uk - 928117.jpg|thumb|left|{{brc|501}} arriving at Stonebridge Park in 1985]]
The line serving the station was opened by the [[London and North Western Railway]] as part of their [[Watford DC line|New Line]] project on 15 June 1912. It closed on 9 January 1917 and reopened for Bakerloo line trains on 1 August 1917.<ref>Chronology of London Railways by H.V.Borley</ref> 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.

The current station platforms and associated buildings were first built by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1948 to a design attributed to John Weeks<ref>{{cite book |last=Lawrence |first=David |date=2018 |title=British Rail Architecture 1948-97 |publisher=Crecy Publishing Ltd |page=42 |isbn=9780860936855 }}</ref> following destruction of the original structures by bombing in World War II, the booking hall at ground level appears to be the original building. The platform-level style of the rebuilding was different from that of the original DC line stations (but not the same as the 1938 [[South Kenton station]] on the same line), utilising concrete and steel rather than brick buildings with wood and glass canopies. The 1948 buildings have themselves suffered two major fires which resulted in the rebuilding of the up side platform buildings and later the partial demolition of the down side platform building. Later upgrading and improvement of the platform structures has retained the basic 1940s shape.

From 24 September 1982 to 4 June 1984 it was the northern operational terminus of the Bakerloo line. London Underground's [[Stonebridge Park Depot]] is {{convert|500|m|yd|abbr=on}} to the north-west of the station. The [[Brent Viaduct]], a Grade II [[listed building]] built by the London and Birmingham Railway in the 1830s, is immediately south of the station.<ref>{{National Heritage List for England |num=1078890 |desc=Brent Viaduct |accessdate=26 December 2023}}</ref>
