Berkhamsted railway station is in the historic market town of Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, England. It is located just beside Berkhamsted Castle, overlooking the Grand Junction Canal. The station is 28 miles (45 km) north west of London Euston on the West Coast Main Line. London Northwestern Railway operates services to London, Northampton and many other destinations.
There are four platforms of 12-car length on both the fast and slow lines. The platforms are arranged around a central island and two side platforms, although in practice, only two of these are in common use, which are platforms 3 and 4 facing the slow lines. The station is relatively unusual on the route in that most of the original buildings have been retained.
