History

The station opened on November 13, 1933. There was a competition for the name and Northwood Hills, suggested by a woman from North Harrow was the winning entry. The area is lower than Northwood, despite the name.[4]

In the southbound direction off-peak services generally run 4tph to Baker Street and 4tph to Aldgate.
