Camden Road railway station was the first station by that name inCamden,North London. Opened by theMidland Railway in 1868, it was immediately to the north of the 205 yard Camden Tunnels on theMidland Main Line and the first stop fromSt Pancras station.
In 1870 theNorth London Railway opened itsCamden station, then called 'Camden Town', half a mile to the south west.. This should not be confused withCamden Town Underground station which opened in 1907. It was not until 1950 that there stopped being two 'Camden Town' stations, when the North London Railway station was renamed 'Camden Road'.
For a short period from 1878 and 1880, the MR operated theSuper Outer Circle service through the station from St. Pancras toEarl's Court Underground station via tracks throughCricklewood, then using theDudding Hill Line toSouth Acton andHammersmith.[1]
The station was closed, as were others, in 1916 as a wartime economy measure, and was not re-opened.[2] The station buildings remained for many years before being replaced by a petrol station, and later by a car showroom.
