Connecting the platform to the station is the only wooden-threaded escalator still in use on the London Underground.

Although there has been a Greenford Station since 1904, the present station dates to 1940, when the Central Line was extended here. Due to the Second World War, the opening of the station was delayed until 1947. The original Greenford Station was closed in 1963.
