History
Warwick Avenue opened on 31 January 1915 on the Bakerloo line's extension from Paddington to Queen's Park.[6]
The ticket hall and its ticket machines were destroyed by fire overnight on 17 September 1985, causing the station to be closed for the day.[7]
Design
There is no surface building and the station is accessed by two sets of steps to a sub-surface ticket hall. It was one of the first London Underground stations built specifically to use escalators rather than lifts.[8]
Location
The station is located at the junction of Warwick Avenue, Warrington Crescent and Clifton Gardens. For a time prior to its opening, the proposed name for the station was Warrington Crescent.[9]
London Bus Routes 6, 46 and 187 serve the station.
In popular culture
The song "Warwick Avenue" by British singer Duffy makes reference to the station.[10]
