In the nineteenth century up to 100,000 people per day used the station at weekends and on public holidays as the Heath was a popular leisure destination for Londoners.[citation needed] The station was rebuilt, after Second World War bomb damage, and in the 1990s in conjunction with works to allow Eurostar trains to use the North London Line.
The platform canopies are in a pseudo-antique style which is in stark contrast to the poured concrete style of the rest of the station's structural features. The line runs below street level with access via staircases to each platform. Lifts providing access to both platforms were added in 2014.[3] During the same refurbishment works new ticket barriers were added.
In 2011, Evenings' Hill by British artist Clare Woods was installed along the length of the platform, made from porcelain tiles.[4][5] The artwork was commissioned by TfL in 2011, as part of London Overground's art programme.[6]
All services at Hampsted Heath are operated by London Overground using Class 378 EMUs.
