South Kentish Town was on the London Underground network's Northern Line between Camden Town and Kentish Town. The surface building still exists on Kentish Town Road, close to the junction with Castle Road, and is currently a retail unit occupied by the Cash Converters chain.
The station was opened on 22 June 1907, it was temporarily closed following strike action at the Lots Road power station during the afternoon of 5 June 1924, trains having called at the station that morning. In the event it was decided not to re-open the station after the power was restored due to the very low number of passengers using the station.
During World War II it was used as an air raid shelter.
