Kentish Town

These delightful Midland Railway canopies once stood on one of the platforms of Kentish Town station, opened on 1st October 1868 with the Midland Railway's London Extension to St. Pancras. They now shelter a pavement cafe where the station entrance used to be. To the right in the background is the LUL Northern Line station, opened as part of the Charing Cross, Euston & Hampstead Railway on 22nd June 1907. Following the closure of the Midland station entrance, a new connection was made from the station footbridge to the LUL ticket hall which now serves as an entrance/exit for both. This view is through the front upstairs windows of a TfL bus on route 134 (North Finchley to Mornington Crescent) on 5th June 2021.
