The station was opened by the Charing Cross, Euston & Hampstead Railway in 1907. The station was where the line split into it's two Northern branches. In 1924 the City & South London Railway extended North to Camden Town from
Euston. Trains arriving at Camden Town from either branch can continue onto either branch thanks to junctions to the North and South of the station.
