North End Underground Station

North End is a never-opened station on the London Underground . It is located on the Edgware branch of the Northern Line between Hampstead and Golders Green .
The section on which the station is located was commissioned on June 22, 1907 by the Charing Cross, Euston and Hampstead Railway . The station was originally planned to be the deepest in the entire network at a depth of 67.3 meters. In the planning it was always called North End, but because of a pub near the planned entrance building, the workers always referred to it as Bull & Bush . Due to planning problems of the access building on the surface and the not too high population density in the surrounding area, no expansion was made. The platforms and access tunnels were completed by the end of 1906, but the elevator shaft and the station building were never built.
In the 1950s, a shaft was drilled down to the underground access tunnels in order to set up the control center for the flood walls of the London Underground, which were built at the beginning of World War II . The access to the surface was disguised as an inconspicuous substation . Today this building serves as an emergency exit.
