Dist:0.3km<br/>Crouch End station was on the former Great Northern Railway from Finsbury Park to Alexandra Palace via Highgate and was opened in August 1867. In 1935 the London Transport Passenger Board announced plans to electrify the line and to incorporate it into the Northern Line of the Underground network. To this end the platforms were modified, but the advent of the Second World War curtailed the proposed development, and the station eventually closed in July 1954. This is the eastbound platform. The westbound platform also still exists.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Crouch End station was on a line that ran from Finsbury Park to Alexandra Palace. The line was abandoned soon after the Second World War and along with a partial attempt at electrification. The people standing on the platforms will have to wait a very long time for the next train.
