Hammersmith is a London Underground station in Hammersmith. It is the western terminus of the Circle and Hammersmith & City lines. The station is in Travelcard Zone 2 and is a short walk from the station of the same name on the Piccadilly and District lines. The two stations are separated by Hammersmith Broadway.
The Circle line has served Hammersmith since 13 December 2009. By June 2011 all of the platforms had been lengthened to accommodate the new and longer S7 Stock trains, that first entered service on the Hammersmith and City Line from the beginning of July 2012. These new trains are seven cars in length instead of the six cars of C Stock that previously operated.
The present station is situated on Beadon Road and opened on 1 December 1868, replacing the original station slightly north of here which opened on 13 June 1864 when the Metropolitan Railway's extension was built from Paddington. The platforms are partially covered with a high glass roof.
The Hammersmith depot is located just outside the station. It is used for general maintenance and storage of the S7 Stock trains which operate on the Hammersmith & City line. If you wanted to get to the other Hammersmith station by train, it would require a minimum of 10 stops and 3 changes.
Hampstead is a London Underground station in Hampstead, North London. It is on the Edgware branch of the Northern line, between Golders Green and Belsize Park stations. The branch's northernmost subterranean station, it is on the boundary between Travelcard Zone 2 and Zone 3. 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, at 58.5 metres (192 ft) below ground level; and it has the deepest lift shaft on the Underground, at 55 metres (180 ft). The station layout can be seen here. If ever the lifts are is not working (still not totally step free), it is probably better to go to Belsize Park and walk, rather than attempting the 320 steps (about 18 storeys) which can be seen in this video!
There is also a great video by Geoff Marshall which explains the myth of the 15 (or maybe 18) storey signage here. Hampstead Heath station is about 1 mile away from here, so is not classed as an OSI

Someone could argue that both these signs are incorrect, as the Piccadilly one technically shouldn't have "Terminal 1" and the Elizabeth one probably shouldn't really have the word "Central".
There are 2 stations here which both serve London Heathrow Airport. Terminal 2 and Terminal 3 (and formerly Terminal 1 before its closure and replacement by Terminal 2 in 2015). They are both only accessed through the airport terminal, but they have separate entrances and cannot be directly accessed from each respective line, so check which service you require before going through the airport terminal.
The stations are situated in Travelcard Zone 6. Although neither of the stations have toilet facilities, there are some in and around the airport, along with various food/drink outlets. The layout of the tracks and platforms can be seen here.
The Elizabeth line (& Mainline services) part of the station still has the signs on the platform that say "Heathrow Central". These platforms are also served by Heathrow Express trains direct to central London. It is 14 miles 50 chains (23.5 km) down-line from London Paddington. This was opened 23rd June 1998. The National Rail information can be found here. The platforms are located under the runway of the airport. Transport for London Travelcards are not valid on Express services from this station, although they are valid on the Elizabeth Line. Passengers transferring between any of the terminals at Heathrow may use the trains free of charge.
The London Underground section is on the Heathrow branch of the Piccadilly line, The station was named Heathrow Terminals 1, 2, 3 until January 2016, when the station was renamed to coincide with the closure of Heathrow Terminal 1. Despite the renaming of the station, the signage on the platform as well as the announcements and signage in the trains still say Heathrow Terminals 1, 2, 3.
The station opened as Heathrow Central on 16 December 1977 as the final phase of the Piccadilly line's extension from Hounslow West to the airport. These platforms are about 14 metres underground and were dug under the airport whilst the airport was fully operational.
If you travel by train between any of the Heathrow stations, it is free to do. There is a video here, if you would like to see it.

There are 2 stations here with separate entrances, ticket halls and platforms.
One is served by the Elizabeth line and was opened on 23rd June 1998, together with the Heathrow Express. From 1998 to 2008, the station was the terminus of the Heathrow Express service from London Paddington. All services terminated here after calling at Heathrow Central. Upon the opening of the new Heathrow Terminal 5 station in 2008, all Heathrow Express services were re-routed to terminate there, and services to Terminal 4 were replaced with an every 15 minute shuttle service, which ran between Heathrow Central and Terminal 4.
On 20 May 2018, TfL Rail took over the Heathrow Connect service ahead of becoming part of the Elizabeth Line.
On 9 May 2020, Heathrow Terminal 4 station closed temporarily until further notice, due to the closure of the airport's Terminal 4 during the COVID-19 pandemic. The station was reopened on 14 June 2022. The National Rail information about this station can be found here.
On 24 May 2022, the Elizabeth Line took over operations of services at the station.
The other station is a London Underground station (operated by the Elizabeth line) on the Heathrow branch of the Piccadilly line. The station is situated in Travelcard Zone 6. The station opened on 12 April 1986 to serve the then recently opened Heathrow Terminal 4. It is situated on a unidirectional loop tunnel which was constructed between the existing Hatton Cross and Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3 stations, as above, this too closed temporarily in 2020. Platforms are about 8 metres underground and are under the airport.
Until 2012, free transfer was not possible between terminals, in contrast to the Heathrow Express. In January 2012, free travel was introduced for Oyster card holders between the three Heathrow stations. But to travel from Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3 or Terminal 5 to Terminal 4 one must change trains at Hatton Cross. This journey is free, despite Hatton Cross itself not being part of the free travel zone.
There are no toilets here, but there are some toilets and food outlets in the airport terminal and these stations can only be accessed through the terminal.

High Barnet is a London Underground station, and former railway station, located in Chipping Barnet, North London. The station is the terminus of the High Barnet branch of the Northern line and is in Travelcard Zone 5. It is the northernmost station on the Northern line and is situated 10.2 miles (16.4 km) north north-west of Charing Cross.
High Barnet station was planned by the Edgware, Highgate and London Railway (EH&LR) and was originally opened on 1 April 1872 by the Great Northern Railway (which had taken over the EH&LR) on the original site of the Barnet Faire. It was the terminus of the branch of a line that ran from Finsbury Park to Edgware via Highgate.
After the 1921 Railways Act created the "Big Four" railway companies the line was, from 1923, part of the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER). The section of the High Barnet branch north of East Finchley was incorporated into the London Underground network through the "Northern Heights" project begun in the late 1930s. High Barnet station was first served by Northern line trains on 14 April 1940 and, after a period where the station was served by both operators, LNER services ended in 1941. British Rail (the successor to the LNER) freight trains continued to serve the station's goods yard until 1 October 1962, when it was closed, however the sidings still remain and are still in use .
The platforms here are open air.

Highbury & Islington is a London Underground and National Rail interchange station in the London Borough of Islington, north London. It is served by the London Underground's Victoria line and the Great Northern's Northern City Line, as well as the London Overground's East and North London Lines.
The current station derives from two earlier stations. The first, which was on the same site, was a Victorian-gothic building, designed by Edwin Henry Horne, with a drive-in forecourt, opened on 26 September 1850 by the North London Railway (NLR) and called 'Islington'. Following reconstruction, it was renamed 'Highbury & Islington' on 1 July 1872.
The second station, on the opposite side of Holloway Road, was opened on 28 June 1904 by the Great Northern & City Railway (GN&CR) on its underground line between Finsbury Park and Moorgate. Opened as 'Highbury', it was renamed to 'Highbury & Islington' on 20 July 1922.
This line and stations were operated by the Metropolitan Railway and its successors from 1913 until 1975 when the line, by then called the Northern City Line, was transferred to British Rail. The route is now operated by Great Northern This building still remains today, but not in use as a station – it houses signalling equipment for the Victoria line. The National Rail information about this station can be found here.
The present single-storey structure on the site of the former 1850's building was built in the 1960s for the opening of the Victoria line on 1st September 1968 and is the entrance for all lines. Step-free access is available via lifts between the ticket hall and London Overground platforms. Great Northern services and the Victoria line do not have step-free access.

Highgate is a London Underground station and former railway station in Archway Road, in the London Borough of Haringey in north London. The station takes its name from nearby Highgate Village. It is on the High Barnet branch of the Northern line, between Archway and East Finchley stations, and is in Travelcard Zone 3.
The station was originally opened in 1867, on the Great Northern Railway's line between Finsbury Park and Edgware stations. As part of their only partially completed Northern Heights plan, the London Underground started serving the station in 1941, using new platforms in tunnels beneath (about 43 metres) the surface station. The platforms of the surface station remain, although quite overgrown, but were last used in 1954; the section of the line through them to Finsbury Park was closed in 1970 and lifted by 1972. One of the original 1867 station buildings still exists and is in use as a private house and the High Level remains are still in situ and can be seen by booking a tour.
The deep level platforms are longer than most trains, so do not wait at the end of the platform, as you will have to walk to get on the train. There is a single "up" escalator here that takes you to a second exit and allows you to look down on the old high level station.

The Metropolitan Railway (Harrow and Uxbridge Railway) constructed the line between Harrow on the Hill and Uxbridge; this was opened on 4 July 1904, with an intermediate station at Ruislip. At first services were operated by steam trains, but electrification was completed on 1 January 1905. The station was called Hillingdon: 1923–34, and then Hillingdon (Swakeleys) from 1934 and gradually the suffix was dropped. The platforms are open air, covered with a canopy.

Holborn is a London Underground station in Holborn, Central London, located at the junction of High Holborn and Kingsway. It is served by the Central and Piccadilly lines. On the Central line the station is between Tottenham Court Road and Chancery Lane stations; on the Piccadilly line it is between Covent Garden and Russell Square and is in Travelcard Zone 1. Close by are the British Museum, Lincoln's Inn Fields, Red Lion Square, Bloomsbury Square, London School of Economics and Sir John Soane's Museum.
Located at the junction of two earlier tube railway schemes, the station was opened in 1906 by the Great Northern, Piccadilly and Brompton Railway (GNP&BR), which means that the central line section would have been built in tunnels that were in use from 1900. The station entrances and below ground circulation were largely reconstructed for the introduction of escalators and the Central line platforms in 1933, making the station the only interchange between the lines. Before 1994, Holborn was the northern terminus of the short and little-frequented Piccadilly line branch to Aldwych and two platforms originally used for this service are disused and can be seen on a tour. One of the disused platforms has been used for location filming when a London Underground station platform is needed. The original station layout can be seen here. The platform depths below ground are about 27.4 metres on the Central line and platforms 4 & 5 are about 33.8 metres and platform 3 is about 39.6 metres. There is more information about this station here. An upgrade of the station has been proposed and the details of this can be found here.
The opening of this station meant that British Museum station about 100 yards away was then no longer required and closed permanently.
Holland Park is a London Underground station, on Holland Park Avenue. It is served by the Central line, lying between Shepherd's Bush and Notting Hill Gate stations, in Travelcard Zone 2.
The original building was typical of those designed by Harry Bell Measures for the stations of the Central London Railway that opened on 30 July 1900. It was given a flat roof in the hope that commercial development would take place on top, as at Queensway station, but so far this has not happened. The building was refurbished in the 1990s. The station name was proposed as 'Lansdown Road' before opening.
On 28 July 1958 one passenger died as a result of a fire on a Central line train at Holland Park.
There was an incident in August 2013 in which smoke started to fill the station after a train's brakes malfunctioned.
The platforms are about 18.3 metres underground.

Holloway Road is a station on the London Underground. It is on the Piccadilly line between Caledonian Road and Arsenal stations, and in Travelcard Zone 2. The station opened on 15 December 1906. The station is close to the former Holloway & Caledonian train station
The station was constructed by the Great Northern, Piccadilly and Brompton Railway and was built with two lift shafts, but only one was ever used for lifts, which has now left abandoned spaces within the station.

The experiment was not successful and was never used by the public. The remains can be seen at the Acton Museum.
The platforms are about 18.3 metres underground.
