North Harrow Station The Metropolitan Railway first opened in 1863 and ran between Paddington and Farringdon becoming the first underground railway in the world. The railway quickly saw the benefits to expansion beyond London and had reached Harrow by 1880 and Pinner by 1885. As the popularity of the Pinner extension grew local developers started to build housing alongside the line and in 1912 the board agreed to build a new station at North Harrow to serve these developments. In the years that followed, this development became known as 'Metro-land'. The original station, consisting only of the wooden shelter you are currently standing in, opened in 1915. Due to increased demand a much improved station opened in 1931 to a design by Charles Clark, Chief Architect for the Metropolitan Railway. This forms the current station which remains true to the original design. This commemorative plaque was unveiled by London Underground's Managing Director, Mike Brown, on 20th March 2015 to celebrate the centenary of this station.
