Kentish Town
Station Closure
26/06/2023 – Summer 2024
The Northern line will not stop at Kentish Town station from Monday 26 June 2023 for up to a year. This is so we can replace the escalators and carry out station improvements.
The London Underground ticket hall at Kentish Town will be closed. Northern line trains will travel directly from Camden Town to Tufnell Park or Tufnell Park to Camden Town.
During the works, Kentish Town Thameslink station will remain open and will continue to be served by Thameslink services. There is a separate entrance to this station.
Find out more about the work to replace the escalators.
Alternatives to the Northern line at Kentish Town
- Walk or use local bus services to Tufnell Park station (0.8 km) and use Northern line services
- Use Thameslink services from Kentish Town station (and change at King’s Cross St Pancras/St Pancras International)
- Use Camden Town station when returning on Northern line services as an alternative to Tufnell Park station. Camden Town frequently becomes exit-only to help manage crowding
- Use London Overground services from Kentish Town West and Camden Road
Bus
- Northbound: use local bus route 134 towards Tufnell Park
- Southbound: use bus routes 88, 134 and 214 towards Camden Town station or bus route 393 to Chalk Farm
- During the closure, bus stop KF (Kentish Town) will be closed. For Northbound buses, use bus stop KE, 180 metres south of the station
Changing from Thameslink
- It’s best to change to/from Thameslink at King’s Cross St Pancras instead of Kentish Town during the works
- You can also change to/from the Tube at other Thameslink stations that connect with TfL services, including Farringdon, Blackfriars, London Bridge and Elephant & Castle
- Kentish Town Thameslink station will be busier than usual, especially during peak hours. Allow extra time to reach or leave the platforms
- Thameslink trains and stations in central London will also be busier
- Plan and check your journeys on Thameslink at nationalrail.co.uk
- If you use Thameslink services from Kentish Town station, you will be charged the same amount as for a Tube journey, meaning you will not pay extra even if changing between the National Rail and Tube networks
