South Hampstead railway station is in Loudoun Road, London NW8, in the London Borough of Camden. It is about a third of a mile downhill from Swiss Cottage tube station. It currently has two platforms on the Euston to Watford DC Line, the platforms on the Slow Main lines having been mostly demolished in the 1960s. The street building is of the 1960s "brick lavatory" style, built to replace an earlier LNWR building (similar in style to the original Hampstead Heath railway station building) in the same position which was replaced when the West Coast Main Line was electrified and a new station footbridge was constructed. Some remnants of the now-removed station canopies and older footbridge can be seen in the brickwork of the retaining walls on both sides of the line.

Services

The typical service is three trains per hour to London Euston, and three trains per hour to Watford Junction, calling at all stations, although this reduces to two tph in the late evenings and on Sundays.
