Edgware Road is on the London Underground tube map twice, confusingly there are two completely different stations with the same name! This station is on the Bakerloo Line and is separated by a few streets from the other
Edgware Road station on the Circle, District and Hammersmith & City Lines.

Edgware Road was the original Northern terminus of the Baker Street & Waterloo Railway (later known as the Bakerloo Line) which opened in 1907. The line opened before the station was finished however and trains terminated at
Marylebone for a few months [1] before Edgware Road finally opened.
There were a number of ideas for extending the railway beyond Edgware Road and in the end the scheme chosen was to extend to
Paddington and beyond in the early 1910s, Edgware Road became a through station in 1913 [2]. Access to the platforms from the ticket hall is via lifts or 125 steps. The station was closed for a number of months in 2013 for lift refurbishment.
There have been proposals to rename this station to end confusion with the other Edgware Road though so far they have come to naught.
