West Hampstead
The rebuilding of the London Overground station at West Hampstead, costing £12.5 million, was virtually completed on 14th October 2019 with the inauguration of the lifts to the two platforms. All that remains now is the demolition of the original station entrance, dating from the it's opening in 1888 (the line, the ex-Hampstead Junction Railway, had opened in 1860) on West End Lane bridge and widening of the pavement in front of the new entrance but the original was still in situ when this view, looking east, was taken on 18th December 2019; however, the building was still there during a visit on 3rd February 2020 and furthermore still issuing tickets even though there is no access to the platforms from here. The station was originally called West End Lane until 1975.
