Brondesbury is on the North London Line, on a viaduct crossing Kilburn High Road in the Brondesbury area of Kilburn in the London Borough of Brent in north-west London.
It is approximately 200 metres south-east of Kilburn station and half a mile north-west of Kilburn High Road station.
Ticket barriers are now in operation.
Brondesbury station opened on 2 January 1860 as Edgware 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.
London Buses routes 16, 32, 189, 316, 332 and 632 and night route N16 serve the station.
