Hampstead tube station

Hampstead tube station

Hampstead tube station is a London Underground station in Hampstead Village in North London, NW3 1QG. The station is on the Edgware branch of the Northern Line, between Golders Green and Belsize Park stations, and on the boundary between Travelcard Zone 2 and Zone 3.

The station was opened on the 22 June 1907 by the Charing Cross, Euston & Hampstead Railway. Located at the junction of Heath Street and Hampstead High Street, the name Heath Street was proposed for the station before opening: indeed, the original tiled station signs on the platform walls, recently restored, still read "Heath Street". Hampstead Village is located on a steep hill and the station platforms are the deepest on the London Underground network, at 58.5 metres or 192 feet below ground level. It has the deepest lift shaft on the Underground at 181 feet deep. As well as the lifts, there is a spiral emergency staircase, made up of 300 steps.

To the north, between Hampstead and Golders Green stations is the uncompleted "North End" or "Bull & Bush" station. Hampstead Heath railway station on the National Rail North London Line is about a 10-15 minute walk away to the east.
