The station was originally opened in 1907 by the Charing Cross, Euston & Hampstead Railway as a terminus.
The line was extended North in 1923. An incompleted station is in between Golders Green and Hampstead, this was North End which was abandoned in 1906, though what was completed still remains and is used for storage [1]. Golders Green is the first station on this branch of the Northern Line to be in the open air after leaving London.
Golders Green was also home to a depot for the Northern Line and is where most overhaul and maintenance work takes place on the line [2]. The station has five platforms (one is unused) and three through roads.
