Information about Charing Cross, Euston & Hampstead Railway

The Charing Cross, Euston and Hampstead Railway (CCE&HR), was a deep-level "tube" railway constructed in London by the Underground Electric Railways Company of London Limited (later the London Electric Railway, LER). Today, the core part of the line forms the Charing Cross branch of the London Underground network's Northern Line.

History

Planned in 1892 as a line to connect Hampstead High Street with the southern end of Charing Cross Road, with a spur from Euston Road to serve the mainline stations of Kings Cross and St Pancras, Royal Assent was granted for the main route in 1893 but withheld for the spur. At this time the only stations were to have been at Charing Cross, Oxford Street, Euston Road, Seymour Terrace, Chalk Farm, Belsize Park and Hampstead.

Further bills were passed by Parliament: to include changes and extend time (20 July 1894 and 3 June 1897); to extend the route to Charing Cross station itself in the south (25 July 1898); to realign the route to place Euston on the main line, and to create a branch from Camden Town to Kentish Town (9 August 1899); to provide further extension of time (1900) and to extend the two northern branches to Golders Green and Highgate (18 November 1902). After the line was taken over by the UERL, the line opened on 22 June 1907 as The Hampstead Tube with the following stations:

In 1914 the CCE&HR was extended south from Charing Cross to Embankment.

During 1923 and 1924 the CCE&HR was extended north from Golders Green to Edgware.

In 1924 and 1926, physical connections were constructed between the CCE&HR and the City & South London Railway (C&SLR), another of the LER's lines. The links were made between Euston and Camden Town and between Embankment and Kennington, in conjunction with the C&SLR's extension to Morden. Once connected the lines were operational merged and became known as the Morden – Edgware Line.

In preparation for plans to incorporate the London and North Eastern Railway's (LNER's) "Northern Heights" lines into the Morden – Edgware Line, it was renamed the Northern Line in 1937.
