'''Harlesden''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|h|ɑːr|l|z|d|ən}}) is an [[interchange station]] on Acton Lane, in north-west [[London]], England. It is on the [[Bakerloo line]] of the [[London Underground]] and the [[Watford DC line|Lioness line]] of the [[London Overground]], between [[Stonebridge Park station|Stonebridge Park]] and [[Willesden Junction station|Willesden Junction]] stations. 

==History==
{{Stnlnk|Willesden}} was the first station at the site, which was opened in 1841 by the [[London and Birmingham Railway]]; it was closed in 1866, replaced by [[Willesden Junction station]], {{convert|0.5|mi|km}} to the south east. 

In the [[Watford DC line]] programme of new electrified suburban tracks of the [[London and North Western Railway]], a new station, ''Harlesden'', opened on 15 June 1912. Bakerloo line services on the same tracks began on 16 April 1917, via a new junction at [[Queen's Park station (England)|Queens Park]]. The [[Watford Junction]] to {{Stnlnk|Euston}} modernisation project was completed in 1922.
