Renowned for its fantastically complex junction, Camden Town station is where the Charing Cross, Bank, Edgware and High Barnet branches of the Northern line come together. Opened in 1907 on the Hampstead Tube, the famous junction was added in 1924 to integrate the City and South London Railway into what is now the Northern Line. Ongoing efforts to increase capacity have lead to recent proposals for the Northern line to be split apart again, requiring another rebuild at Camden.

The area surrounding the station also has a rich railway history, as well as the famous markets, and plans for a Camden High Line linear park.
