Constructed in the mid 1990s as part of the Jubilee Line Extension, the site is the main depot for stabling and maintaining the line's 1996 Stock trains, although some trains are stabled at Neasden Depot.

[4] The Jubilee Line Extension project required the construction of a new depot to serve the extended Jubilee line, given the increased number of trains could not be accommodated at the existing Neasden Depot site.

[5][6] Construction began in April 1994, with archaeological excavations uncovering evidence of Stratford Langthorne Abbey, as well as 674 graves.

[9][8] Outside, the depot has 33 stabling roads, with the layout of the 11-hectare (27-acre) site designed to mitigate archaeological impacts to the Stratford Langthorne Abbey.

[10] As well as the Jubilee line depot, a large training centre for London Underground is located at the site.
