The station was opened on 22 June 1907 by the Charing Cross, Euston & Hampstead Railway as an intermediate station on its line from to . It is served by three lifts which descend 33.2 m to the platforms. The platforms can also be reached by stairs. The sign at the top of the stairs lists the total step count between train and platform level of 209, while the sign at the bottom only mentions 189, the remaining 20 being between the bottom landing of the lifts and the platforms.
