The station was opened (as Whetstone & Totteridge) by the Great Northern Railway in 1872, though has originally been a project of the Edgware, Highgate & London Railway. The name was switched around two years later [1]. In 1923 the station became part of the London North Eastern Railway. In the late 1930s the High Barnet branch became part of the London Underground's Northern Heights project. The first Underground trains began serving Totteridge & Whetstone in 1940, LNER services ceased the following year. LNER and later British Railways freight services continued to use the station's goods yard until 1962.
The station retains it's original GNR buildings, the main station building being at street level over the lines. Access between the platforms is via a footbridge. The goods yard is now the station's car park! The station has at least sixteen trains in each direction per hour, southbound trains go to either Morden or Battersea Power Station.
