South Kentish Town tube station
South Kentish town tube station is a closed London Underground station. It was on the Northern Line between Camden Town and Kentish Town. The building still exists and is on Kentish Town Road.
The station opened on June 27 1907 along with the rest of the line to Highgate (now Archway) station but was temporarily closed following strike action at the Lots Road power station during the afternoon of June 5 1924, trains having called at the station that morning. In the event it was decided not to re-open the station after the power was back on due to the very low number of passengers using the station. During World War II it was used as an air raid shelter.
Because of the redevelopment plans for the Camden Town station there have been occasional proposals to rebuild the platforms and the station.
