Plan The M&StJWR had received authorisation in July 1864 to construct a railway from the Metropolitan Railway's (MR's) station at Baker Street to a station near the London and North Western Railway's station at Finchley Road. The line was to be partly funded and operated by the MR. Before construction had begun, an extension was authorised across mostly open countryside to the village of Hampstead.
