West Hampstead station, West End Lane

(1933)
(2009)

West Hampstead station was opened on 30th June 1879 and was the northern terminus of the Metropolitan and St John's Wood Railway (MSJWR) until 24th November 1879. The line was extended first to Willesden Green in 1879 and then Harrow, now called Harrow-on-the-Hill, in 1880 by which time the MSJWR had been absorbed by the Metropolitan Railway (MET). The MET itself was absorbed by the London Passenger Transport Board (LPTB) in July 1933.
The top photo shows the station before the 1938 rebuild. In 1939 the stopping service between Finchley Road and Wembley Park along with the branch to Stanmore was transferred to the recently opened Bakerloo line. The Metropolitan line last served West Hampstead station on 7th December 1940.
Services were transferred to the newly opened Jubilee line on 1st May 1979.
