Hampstead Heath is a railway station in London on the North London Line between Finchley Road & Frognal and Gospel Oak. The typical service at the station is four trains per hour westbound to Richmond via Willesden, and four trains per hour eastbound to Stratford via Camden Town, Highbury and Hackney. The station was rebuilt after bomb damage, and again in the 1990s, in a pseudo-antique style, in conjunction with works to allow Eurostar trains to access the North London Line. The Heath was one of the most important popular holiday destinations for Londoners in the nineteenth century and very heavy traffic was handled at the station at weekends and public holidays, up to 100,000 passengers a day in the late nineteenth century.
