Belsize Park

 

The station was opened on 22 June 1907 by the Charing Cross, Euston & Hampstead Railway as an intermediate station on its line from Charing Cross to Golders Green. The station was designed by Leslie Green and has his familiar facade of ox-blood faience with four round arched windows. It remained largely untouched until the late 1980s when the lifts were replaced and a new ticketing system installed.

 

Belsize Park is one of eight London Underground stations which have deep-level air-raid shelters underneath them.[4] The shelter was constructed in World War II to provide safe accommodation for service personnel. The station is served by three lifts which descend 33.2 m (108 ft 10 in) to the platforms. There are 219 steps.

 

Connections: London Buses routes 168 and C11 and night route N5 serve the station.
