South Hampstead railway station is in Loudoun Road, London NW8, in the London Borough of Camden. It is about a third of a mile downhill from Swiss Cottage tube station. It currently has two platforms on the Euston to Watford DC Line, the platforms on the Slow Main lines having been mostly demolished in the 1960s. The street building is of the 1960s "brick lavatory" style, built to replace an earlier LNWR building (similar in style to the original Hampstead Heath railway station building) in the same position which was replaced when the West Coast Main Line was electrified and a new station footbridge was constructed. Some remnants of the now-removed station canopies and older footbridge can be seen in the brickwork of the retaining walls on both sides of the line.
Colney Hatch Lunatic Asylum (or Friern Hospital) was an early psychiatric hospital located in Colney Hatch in what is now the London Borough of Barnet. The hospital was in operation from 1851 to 1993. At its height the asylum was home to 3,500 mental patients and had the longest corridor in Britain, and hence, its name was synonymous among Londoners with any mental institution. It would take a visitor more than five hours to walk the wards.[1]
The station is on the Piccadilly Line, between Wood Green and Arnos Grove stations, and is on the boundary between Travelcard Zone 3 and fare_zone 4.
