Finchley Road is a London Underground station at the corner of Finchley Road and Canfield Gardens in the London Borough of Camden, north London. It is served by the Jubilee and Metropolitan lines. On the Jubilee line, the station is between West Hampstead and Swiss Cottage stations. On the Metropolitan line, it is between Wembley Park and Baker Street stations. The station is in Travelcard Zone 2.
The station is 100 yards (91 m) south of the O2 Centre. It serves the Frognal and South Hampstead areas. It is also a five-minute walk from the Finchley Road & Frognal station on the London Overground's North London line, and this is marked as an official out-of-system interchange. The station is in a cutting covered by a single glass and metal canopy and is the northernmost station below street level on the line.
The station was opened on 30 June 1879 by the Metropolitan Railway (MR, now the Metropolitan line) on its extension from its now closed station at Swiss Cottage (a different station from the current Swiss Cottage Jubilee line station). The station was rebuilt in 1914 with entrances incorporated into a new parade of shops.
By the mid-1930s, the Metropolitan line was suffering from congestion on its main routes from north-west London, caused by the limited capacity of its tracks between Finchley Road and Baker Street stations. To alleviate this congestion new sections of deep tube tunnels were bored between Finchley Road and Baker Street to carry some of the traffic from the Stanmore branch and stations south of Wembley Park. These new tunnels opened on 20 November 1939, and from that date Finchley Road station was also served by Bakerloo line trains running from Baker Street using the new tunnels. The Bakerloo line services were subsequently transferred to the Jubilee line when that line commenced operation on 1 May 1979.
There is a proposal to add a new entrance to the station from the site of the O2 Centre, as a part of the proposal to redevelop the site for housing. [8]
Finchley Road is served by London Underground Jubilee and Metropolitan line services. The Jubilee line operates a service frequency of about 16 trains per hour between Stanmore and Stratford. The Metropolitan line offers services to the north-west of London and certain stations in the home counties.
