It's North Wembley.
By a process of elimination there's only two possibilities - Kenton and North Wembley. It's the shared Bakerloo & BR section between Harrow & Wealdstone and Queen's Park, and is the smaller part of that where the local lines are to the west of the other lines so it's between Harrow & Wealdstone and Wembley Central. It's two outside platforms, so eliminating South Kenton. It's open air, so eliminating Wembley Central.
And the platform curve, banks and lack of huge car park on the eastern side all eliminate Kenton!
As to the reason for today - no idea, unless it's something to do with opening date (apparently 15 June 1912)?

North Wembley +1
The reason could be that, from today, 1972 stock is the oldest train in passenger service on the London Underground.

In that case the 313 is meant to be the oldest EMU in normal passenger service The 1972 stock is surely the older emu of the two? The 1972mark2s were in service by 1974, the 313s not until late 1975. (And the class 483s are older than either) But all this is nothing to do with the specific location. Apparently the Bakerloo service from Stomebridge Park to Harrow & Wealdstone through North Wembley was reinstated 30 years ago today.
