Brondesbury station opened on 2 January 1860 as Edgeware [sic] Road (Kilburn) station on the "Hampstead Junction Railway." It was renamed several times: Edgware Road on 1 November 1865, Edgware Road and Brondesbury on 1 January 1872, Brondesbury (Edgware Road) on 1 January 1873, Brondesbury on 1 May 1883. A signal box was in use at the station until 5 February 1962.

A number of plans were put forward between 1890 and 1926——to build an underground railway along the Edgware Road, and would have seen the construction of a Tube station at Brondesbury. None of the schemes succeeded and "no such line was ever built."
