Swiss Cottage is a London Underground station at Swiss Cottage, north London. It is on the Jubilee line, between Template:LUL stations and Template:LUL stations stations. It lies in Travelcard Zone 2 and is located at the junction of Finchley Road, Avenue Road and College Crescent.
History
The station was opened on 20 November 1939, on a new section of deep-level tunnel constructed between Template:LUL stations and Template:LUL stations stations when the Metropolitan line's services on its Template:LUL stations branch were transferred to the Bakerloo line. It is named after a nearby pub built in 1803–4, originally called The Swiss Tavern and later renamed Swiss Cottage.
The new station initially operated as part of a combined station with the Metropolitan line's adjacent sub-surface Swiss Cottage station (platforms 1 and 2 were Metropolitan line and 3 and 4 were Bakerloo line), but the Metropolitan line station was closed on 17 August 1940. The Bakerloo line station was subsequently transferred—along with the rest of the Stanmore branch—to the Jubilee line when it opened on 1 May 1979.
Connections
London Buses routes 13, 31, 46, 113, 187, 268, 603 and C11 and night routes N28, N31 and N113 serve the station.
