The station has Passenger Operated Ticket Machines, however before there was a ticket office that was closed permanently.

The southbound platform lies at a lower level than the northbound.
The station was opened on 22 June 1907 by theCharing Cross, Euston & Hampstead Railway. The building was designed by architectLeslie Green and the exterior featuresglazed terracotta (faïence) tiling, supplied by theLeeds Fireclay Company. Although close toJunction Road railway station on theTottenham & Hampstead Junction Railway, there was never a physical connection between the two stations.
The station was modernised in 2004 byTube Lines. Major items of works were the communication systems, a complete retiling and new ceilings throughout.
