Canons Park is a London Underground station at Canons Park, north London. It is on the Jubilee Line, between Stanmore and Queensbury. It is in Travelcard Zone 5 and is the least used station on the Jubilee Line with 1.366 million passengers per year.
The station was opened on 10 December 1932 by the Metropolitan Railway (MR) on the MR's extension from Wembley Park to Stanmore.[1] The station was originally named Canons Park (Edgware) although the suffix was dropped the following year.[2] On 20 November 1939,[1] services on the Stanmore branch were transferred to the Bakerloo Line and, on 1 May 1979, they were transferred again to the Jubilee Line.[1]
On rare occasions, Jubilee Line trains may terminate at Canons Park. This usually happens in the early evening when a train may be terminated to run into and out of Stanmore sidings to keep the tracks rust-free.
