Belsize Park Underground station is on the Edgware branch of the Northern Line. It's a deep-level tube station. Very deep. Access to the platforms is by lift, rather than the usual escalators.
What's outside the station? As you'd expect, terraces of shops. But these are slightly more upmarket than usual. Restaurants instead of greasy spoons. Organic greengrocers instead of convenience stores.
Sadly the very good home-made falafel stall that was there when I did the
Blue Plaque walk in April seems to have gone.
Is it near a park? No. Sadly all the parkland was built over in the 19th century, long before the tube arrived there. But the streets there still have names like Belsize Park and Belsize Park Gardens, the latter having these Blue Plaques which I photographed back in April.
