Grosvenor-Strathmore (formerly Grosvenor) is an island platformed Washington Metro station in North Bethesda, Maryland, United States. The station was opened on August 25, 1984, and is operated by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA). Providing service for the Red Line, it is the first above-ground station on the western leg of the Red Line, as well as the first station outside of the Capital Beltway. The station lies north of the eastern terminus of Interstate 270 and the Beltway, at the intersection of Rockville Pike and Tuckerman Lane.
Originally to be named Parkside service to Grosvenor (named for its proximity to Grosvenor Lane) began on July 25, 1984. Trains from Silver Springs terminate here during peak times.
In February of 2005, the Music Center at Strathmore opened adjacent to the station, prompting the name change to Grosvenor-Strathmore. The arts complex and station are connected via an elevated pedestrian walkway, the Carlton R. Sickles Memorial Sky Bridge.
