Dollis Hill tube station is a London Underground station at Dollis Hill near to Willesden and Harlesden. It is on the Jubilee Line, between Willesden Green and Neasden. Metropolitan Line trains pass through the station, but do not stop. The station is about 25 minutes from central London in Travelcard Zone 3.
The station opened on 1 October 1909 as part of the Metropolitan Line. From 20 November 1939 it was on the Stanmore branch of the Bakerloo Line and was transferred to the Jubilee Line in 1979. It has two exits. It began to undergo refurbishment in 2007 with the addition of new lighing, tiling and additional security cameras. The entire station was also repainted.
Dollis Hill was frequently mentioned in the humorous game Mornington Crescent, featured on the radio comedy show I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue. Traditionally, the playing of Dollis Hill starts a "Dollis Hill Loop", meaning that every subsequent move made by any player must be to Dollis Hill. Various ingenious ways to break the loop have been invented by Mornington Crescent players in the past.
