Neasden Power Station was a coal-fired power station built by the Metropolitan Railway for their electrification project. It was opened in December 1904. The Neasden site was alongside the Metropolitan Railways existing depot and workshops.
Along with Lots Road power station, Neasden power station supplied the combined London Transport network from its formation in 1933.
Coal for the power station was brought in by rail in trains run initially by the MetR using its fleet of steam locomotives and then by the LNER after June 1935.
The power station ceased generating in 1968.
