The Anonymous Widower

West Hampstead Comes Together

Years ago, when we lived in our flat in St. John’s Wood, it was often easier to get there from the north by cutting down Fortune Green Road and West End Lane, rather than fight down the Finchley Road. West End Lane in those days was rather shabby, but now it has been tidied up and the four stations; Overground, Tube, Chiltern and Thameslink in about 400 metres or so, have been smartened up, as these pictures show.

There have been plans to create a boulevard to link the stations, but that has been dropped for the time-being.

But when they complete the scheme, they’ll create a proper interchange, that will avoid the need to go to the centre of London. All it needs is some better shops and another couple of places to eat.
