The eNotes website (visit link)
tells us:
"Warwick Avenue tube station is a London Underground
station near Little Venice in inner north-west London. The station is on the
Bakerloo Line, between Paddington and Maida Vale stations, and is in Travelcard
Zone 2.
Warwick Avenue opened on 31 January 1915 on the Bakerloo
line's extension from Paddington to Queen's Park. The station is located at the
junction of Warwick Avenue, Warrington Crescent and Clifton Gardens. For a time
prior to its opening, the proposed name for the station was Warrington
Crescent.
There are no surface buildings and the station is
accessed by two sets of steps to a sub-surface ticket hall. It was one of the
first London Underground stations built specifically to use escalators rather
than lifts. A plain, utilitarian brick ventilation shaft has been built on the
traffic island in the middle of the road to improve underground ventilation of
the tunnels."
