Watford High Street station was opened by the Watford and Rickmansworth Railway on 1 October 1862.

In 1912 a branch was opened from Watford High Street to Croxley Green. The line came under the ownership of London and North Western Railway which in turn was absorbed into the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1923.

The Bakerloo Line was extended through this station to Watford Junction in 1917, but in 1982 it was cut back to Harrow & Wealdstone leaving the section north of there served only by British Rail’s Watford DC Line which is now part of the London Overground network.



The Underground Map project is creating street histories for the areas of London and surrounding counties lying within the M25.

The website features a series of maps from the 1750s until the 1950s. You can see how London grows over the decades.
