Gunnersbury (/ˈɡʌnərzbəri/) is aninterchange station inGunnersbury,London, situated on theDistrict line of theLondon Underground and theMildmay line of theLondon Overground.^[8] The station is located offChiswick High Road (A315) and opened on 1 January 1869.

The station is located inLondon fare zone 3. On the District line, the station is betweenTurnham Green andKew Gardens; and on the Mildmay line, it is betweenSouth Acton and Kew Gardens.

The station was opened asBrentford Road on 1 January 1869 by theLondon and South Western Railway (L&SWR) on a new branch line toRichmond built from theWest London Joint Railway starting north of Addison Road station (nowKensington (Olympia)). The line ran throughShepherd's Bush andHammersmith via a now closed curve andGrove Road station in Hammersmith (also now closed). A short connection was also made from theNorth & South Western Junction Railway (N&SWJR) line toBrentford meeting the L&SWR line immediately north of the station. This line was served by theNorth London Railway (NLR).

Brentford Road station originally had four platforms; two on the line to Richmond and two serving a loop (the Chiswick Curve) which connected to the line throughKew Bridge station.

Between 1 June 1870 and 31 October 1870 theGreat Western Railway (GWR) briefly ran services fromPaddington to Richmond via Hammersmith & City Railway (now theHammersmith & City line) tracks to Grove Road then on the L&SWR tracks through Gunnersbury.

The station was given its current name in 1871.

On 1 June 1877, theDistrict Railway (DR, now the District line) opened a short extension from its terminus at Hammersmith to connect to the L&SWR tracks east ofRavenscourt Park station. The DR then began running trains over the L&SWR tracks to Richmond. On 1 October 1877, theMetropolitan Railway (MR, now the Metropolitan line) restarted the GWR's former service to Richmond via Grove Road station.

The DR's service between Richmond, Hammersmith and central London was more direct than the NLR's route viaWillesden Junction, the L&SWR's or the MR's routes via Grove Road station or the L&SWR's other route from Richmond viaClapham Junction. From 1 January 1894, the GWR began sharing the MR's Richmond service and served Gunnersbury once again, meaning that passengers from Gunnersbury could travel on the services of five operators.

Following theelectrification of the DR's own tracks north ofActon Town in 1903, the DR funded the electrification of the tracks through Gunnersbury. The tracks on the Richmond branch were electrified on 1 August 1905. Whilst DR services were operated withelectric trains, the L&SWR, NLR, GWR and MR services continued to besteam hauled.

MR services were withdrawn on 31 December 1906 and GWR services were withdrawn on 31 December 1910 leaving operations at Gunnersbury to the DR (by then known as the District Railway), the NLR and L&SWR. By 1916, the L&SWR's route through Hammersmith was being out-competed by the District to such a degree that the L&SWR withdrew its service between Richmond and Addison Road on 3 June 1916, leaving the District as the sole operator over that route.

In 1932, the Chiswick Curve was closed and the tracks were later removed. The site of the curve is now known as a housing estate known as Chiswick Village.
