West Hampstead, Residential district in northwest London, United Kingdom
West Hampstead features three railway stations along West End Lane, connecting the area to central London and surrounding neighborhoods through different transit networks.
The district changed its name from West End to West Hampstead in the late 1800s following the construction of railway stations to prevent confusion with London's entertainment district.
The neighborhood maintains four English Heritage blue plaques commemorating notable residents, including painter David Bomberg and conductor Sir Adrian Boult at their former residences.
The district contains numerous independent shops, restaurants, and cafes concentrated around West End Lane and West End Green, serving the local residential population.
The Railway Hotel building on West End Lane housed Klooks Kleek, a music venue where performers like Cream and Stevie Wonder played between 1961 and 1970.
