West Hampstead is an area in north-westLondon, England that is served by a number of different stations, all of which have very similar names. Although physically separate, they are near each other and the stations form arailway interchange. Two of the stations are part of theNational Rail network and the third is on theLondon Underground.

The three stations – located north to south onWest End Lane are:

• West Hampstead Thameslink railway station – served byThameslink.
• West Hampstead railway station – served byLondon Overground.
• West Hampstead tube station – served byLondon UndergroundJubilee line.

West Hampstead Thameslink railway station is the oldest of the three stations, but acquired its name when theThameslink route was established in 1988. Earlier names includedWest End, West End and Brondesbury, West Hampstead and until 1988,West Hampstead Midland. It is located on the western side of West End Lane at the Iverson Road junction. Services are operated byThameslink. As of 2018^[update], annual usage was 3.8 million.

West Hampstead railway station is on theNorth London Line, with train services provided byLondon Overground. It was known asWest End Lane until 1975. It is on the western side of West End Lane between the tube station and Iverson Road. As of 2018^[update], annual usage was 4.5 million.

West Hampstead tube station is onLondon UndergroundJubilee line. It is on the eastern side of West End Lane nearBroadhurst Gardens. It was aBakerloo line station until 1979. As of 2018^[update], annual usage was 10.5 million.

Additionally, three railway lines pass through West Hampstead but do not have stations in the area; they are:

• TheMetropolitan line, whose trains bypass the tube station as they have no platforms there;
• TheMidland Main Line, whose trains run through the Thameslink station without stopping;
• TheChiltern Main Line, which runs parallel to the Underground lines on the south side.

To change stations passengers leave one and walk along West End Lane to the other. The diagram shows the relative locations of the stations which are spaced over about 200 metres (220 yards).Out-of-station interchange within twenty minutes between any two of the stations entails no additional charge.^[1] As an example: a journey fromRichmond toSt Albans may be made on one ticket with a walk between the North London Line and the Thameslink stations. Step free access is available at the Thameslink and Overground stations.

In 2003, Chiltern Railways unveiled a proposal to redevelop the area along West End Lane to create an integrated station complex which would allow passenger interchange among five different Tube and railway lines.^[2] The scheme envisaged building new platforms on the Chiltern Main Line and the Metropolitan lines, and relocating the Thameslink and London Overground stations to the east side of West End Lane. The combined station would have a central passenger concourse and ticket hall, and pedestrian walkways would connect the stations.^[3] The scheme also proposed the construction of a new housing and office development and widening West End Lane, turning it into "a tree-lined boulevard" with additional space for buses and taxis.^[4][5]

The plans were put on hold in 2007 due to uncertainty over the North London Line rail franchise.^[6] The proposal is now no longer possible, due to development in the area. Furthermore, both theThameslink station and theOverground station have been rebuilt and upgraded in recent years, with step free access added to both.^[7]
