Hampstead High Street is the main thoroughfare through Hampstead, historically known as Kingswell Street due to the numerous local wells. In the 17th century, it was renamed Hampstead Street as development expanded, and today it is at the heart of the village.
A notable landmark along the street is the Old Hampstead Fire Station, built in 1871. During World War I, its tower served as a lookout during air raids. The fire station eventually closed as fire appliances became mechanised and the need for multiple fire stations in certain areas of London decreased.
