Meadows Embankment opened on 25 August 2015, along with the rest of NET's phase two.[3]

The stop is situated near the junction of Queens Walk and Victoria Embankment, and in the original plans for NET phase two, the stop was known as Queens Walk tram stop. However, by popular demand this name was transferred to the next stop north on Queens Walk, nearer the Queens Walk Park and Community Centre, and the current name adopted as a synthesis of The Meadows and Victoria Embankment.[4]
