Location of Maida Vale station

Aproposed 1908 extension of the Bakerloo Line had envisaged a stop at nearbyAbercorn Place but this route was rejected. Maida Vale opened on 6 June 1915 onBakerloo tube's extension fromPaddington toQueen's Park five months after the extension.^[8] At the time, it was the first station to be entirely staffed by women.^[9] The women continued to work at the Maida Vale station until 1919 when servicemen returning from the war displaced them. The outbreak of World War II again opened up jobs for women.On 6 June 2015, the station celebrated its 100th anniversary as part of the100 years of women in transport campaign.^[10]

The station is located at the junction ofRandolph Avenue andElgin Avenue and has a surface building designed byUnderground Electric Railways Company of London's architectStanley Heaps. He used a standardized design that appears in many station buildings under control of UERL whilst Maida Vale was provided with buildings in the style of the earlier Leslie Green stations but without the upper storey, which was no longer required for housing lift gear. It was one of the first London Underground stations built specifically to useescalators rather thanlifts.^[11]

Bus routes16 and98, and Night Bus routesN32 andN98 serve Maida Vale road, a short distance to the north-east.
