Hampstead Heath railway station is in the London Borough of Camden in north London on the North London Line, between Finchley Road & Frognal and Gospel Oak stations, and is in Travelcard Zone 2. Since 11 November 2007 it and the service there have been run by London Overground. It is located on South End Road close to South End Green and Pond Street in the old South End of Hampstead.
History
In the nineteenth century up to 100,000 people per day used the station at weekends and on public holidays as the Heath was a popular leisure destination for Londoners. The station was rebuilt, after Second World War bomb damage, and in the 1990s in conjunction with works to allow Eurostar trains to use the North London Line.
Design
The platform canopies are in a pseudo-antique style which is in stark contrast to the poured concrete style of the rest of the station's structural features. The line runs below street level with access via staircases to each platform. Lifts providing access to both platforms were added in 2014. During the same refurbishment works new ticket barriers were added.
Artwork
In 2011, Evenings' Hill by British artist Clare Woods was installed along the length of the platform, made from porcelain tiles. The artwork was commissioned by TfL in 2011, as part of London Overground's art programme.
Services
All services at Hampsted Heath are operated by London Overground using Class 378 EMUs.
The typical off-peak service in trains per hour is:
8 tph to Stratford via Camden Road

During the late evenings, the services to and from Clapham Junction do not operate.
