East Street, CHESHAM, HP5 1DA

A very humble station now, with just a single terminating track. Once there was a quite large goods yard behind the camera to the left, now a car park. The station buildings, including the disused signal box and water tower, are grade II listed.

Chesham is the furthest north and the furthest west station on the London Underground system. The distance from here to Chalfont & Latimer is also the longest distance between two stations on the Underground system at nearly four miles. Needless to say it is also the furthest station from central London, being 25 miles from Charing Cross. Travelling out through the countryside from Rickmansworth to Chorleywood, Chalfont & Latimer and Chesham, London seems a very long way away. The station was opened on 8th July 1889 by the Metropolitan Railway. It is Grade II listed. The line from Chesham to where it meets the line from Amersham is single track as seen at http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4208963 Although there was originally this island platform with a track either side, the western one was taken away in November 1970 and only the eastern side is now in use. The water tower is at the end of the disused platform. A train bound for Aldgate waits for the off. For more information on the station see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chesham_tube_station

Opened in 1889 by the Metropolitan Railway as the terminus of a short branch line from what is now Chalfont & Latimer station. View north towards the buffers. At one time, a goods yard was just north of here, which is now a car park. Like 55% of the London Underground network, this part is actually overground.

Chesham station lies at the end of a branch of London Underground's Metropolitan Line. The station opened in 1889. Chesham, in Buckinghamshire, is one of the furthest outposts of the London Underground network.
