Stanmore tube station is a London Underground station at Stanmore. It is the western terminus of the Jubilee Line; the previous station is Canons Park. It is in Travelcard Zone 5. As the western half of the Jubilee Line runs closer to north-south than east-west, Stanmore is the northernmost station on the Jubilee Line.

The station is on the south side of London Road, part of the A410. There is a traffic light controlled pedestrian crossing across London Road. Between that road and the station, there is a service road used by buses stopping at the station.


There are some shops that are part of the station building. Just to the right of the entrance is a minicab office, and to the right of that is a newsagent's. To the left is a traditional barber shop. Previous reporters to this article stated that an estate agent's branch was here, but certainly not since 2001.


Unusually for an above ground station, the ticket office is not in the entrance hall but downstairs at platform level, although a large bay area now containing rarely used public telephones may once have held the booking hall.


In 2005, Transport for London began the construction of a third platform at the station. 2005 (MMV) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
