Edgware Road is a station on London Underground's Bakerloo Line, between Paddington and Marylebone stations. It is in Travelcard Zone 1.

The station building is on the corner of Edgware Road and Bell Street. It should not be confused with the other "Edgware Road" station, about 150 metres away on the opposite side of the Marylebone Flyover, served by the Circle, District and Hammersmith & City lines.

Neither Edgware Road station should be confused with Edgware station at the northern end of the Northern Line.

History

Edgware Road station was opened on 15 June 1907 by the Baker Street & Waterloo Railway (BS&WR, now the Bakerloo Line) when it extended its line from the temporary northern terminus at Marylebone. The station served as the terminus until extended to Paddington on 1 December 1913, .

In common with other early stations on the line and those of the Charing Cross, Euston & Hampstead Railway and the Great Northern, Piccadilly & Brompton Railway, the station was designed by architect Leslie Green with an ox-blood red glazed terracotta façade.

When the station opened its narrow frontage was in a row of shops, but the buildings to the south of the station were demolished in the 1960s to enable the Flyover to be built, leaving the station as one of two isolated buildings.

The station was temporarily closed between 24 June 1990 and 28 January 1992 for replacement of its lifts.

In September 2007, there was a proposal by London Assembly member Murad Qureshi to rename this station "Church Street Market", as this would end the confusion between this station and the namesake station on the Circle, District and Hammersmith & City lines [cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/6994475.stm|title=BBC News: Call to rename twin Tube stations|accessdate=2007-09-14] .
