Hatch End railway station is in the London Borough of Harrow, in north London, and in Travelcard Zone 6.

It is located at grid reference TQ130913.

The station has two platforms. The northbound (up) platform is on the side of the ticket office and cafe. The southbound (down) platform is reached via a footbridge. This platform was originally an island platform with the other face on the adjacent up fast mainline. There was another island platform serving the down fast and up semi-fast lines and a further platform for the down semi-fasts. These other platforms fell out of use before the end of steam services on the mainline. A general rebuilding of the access to the two remaining platforms in use was built in the 1980s and a fence built along to shield waiting passengers from the fast trains.

[edit] Services

The typical off-peak service is three trains per hour operated by London Overground to London Euston (southbound) and Watford Junction (northbound), calling at all stations. Evenings and Sundays it is half-hourly in each direction.

The typical journey time to Euston is 38 minutes and to Watford Junction 11 minutes. Connections are available at Harrow & Wealdstone for a London Midland fast service or the Southern service to Kensington Olympia.

The station was previously served by the Bakerloo Line of the London Underground.There are plans to resume the Bakerloo line service in the future.

As of 2007, the station has added to its facilities a cafe selling various beverages, snacks and newspapers. This on the northbound platform.
