The Bakerloo line is currently served by three depots: a main depot at [[Stonebridge Park Depot|Stonebridge Park]],{{ref|map 26|map 26}} opened on 9 April 1979 on the site of a former [[British Rail]] power station which contains the fleet's maintenance facilities; the original depot at [[London Road, Southwark|London Road]]{{ref|map 27|map 27}} (between [[Elephant and Castle tube station|Elephant and Castle]] and [[Lambeth North tube station|Lambeth North]], though connected to the line between Lambeth North and Waterloo); and a small depot at [[Queen's Park (London) station|Queens Park station]].

The Queen's Park depot has six tracks, all under cover and numbered 21–26, split between two buildings located at each end of the station, known as the North Shed and the South Shed.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Padgett |first1=David |last2=Kelman |first2=Leanne |editor-last=Munsey |editor-first=Myles |title=Railway Track Diagrams 5: Southern & TfL |edition=4th |date=November 2019 |orig-year=1994 |publisher=Trackmaps |location=Frome |isbn=978-1-9996271-2-6 |at=map 40B }}</ref> The South Shed has two terminal tracks (nos. 25 and 26) and is above the service tracks into the main Bakerloo line tunnels{{ref|map 28|map 28}} built in 1915. The North Shed has two terminal tracks (nos. 22 and 23) and two through tracks (nos. 21 and 24), and is unique on the London Underground network in that trains in passenger service run through it. Tracks 22 and 23 are used by trains from the south terminating at Queen's Park during service. All four tracks in the north shed are also used for stabling trains overnight.

When Bakerloo line services ran to Watford, there was also an additional depot, [[Croxley Green Light Maintenance Depot]] at [[Croxley Green]]; this depot closed in November 1985 following the withdrawal of services.

When the Bakerloo had two branches at its northern end, to Queens Park (as currently) and to Stanmore (now taken over by the Jubilee line), the depot at Neasden on the Stanmore branch was the principal one on the line. The Jubilee taking over this branch from 1979 was the reason behind building the new Stonebridge Park depot.

The London Road depot is unusual in that, although the depot is on the surface, the line passes nearby in tunnel, connected by a short and sharply graded branch tunnel.
