Designed by architect Leslie Green, it was opened on 22 June 1907 by the Charing Cross, Euston & Hampstead Railway. As it is at the junction of Heath Street and Hampstead High Street, the name Heath Street was proposed before opening, and the original tiled signs on the platform walls still read Heath Street.
Because Hampstead is on a steep hill, the station's platforms are the deepest on the London Underground network, being 58.5 metres (192 ft) below ground level;[6][7] and it has the deepest lift shaft on the Underground, at 55 metres (180 ft). Its high-speed lifts, originally manufactured by Otis, were modernised[when?] by the Wadsworth Lift Company,[8] and again in 2014 by Accord.
To the north, between Hampstead and Golders Green stations, is the uncompleted North End or Bull & Bush station. London Overground's Hampstead Heath station on the North London line is a 10–15 minute walk east on South End Road.
