I think Willesden Junction was 'reclassified' as Zone 3 a few years ago

I was impressed by the fact that you could travel all the way from
Kensal Rise to Hackney Wick in Zone 2 -- if it wasn't for Hampstead
Heath poking into Zone 3.

This is a fiction, designed to prevent the North London Line being all
one zone. Hampstead Heath Station is in Zone 2 on the buses, isn't it?
The zone 2/3 border is at Hampstead LUL station and HH is nearer to the
centre than that.

I refer the honourable lady to
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/pdfdocs/lon_con.pdf (or .../lon_con.jpg).
Note how the border dips to get Hampstead Heath into Zone 3.

The bus zone boundary does indeed put HH into Zone 2, but bus zones
are different from LU / NR zones. (The bus zones map for northwest
London is at http://www.tfl.gov.uk/buses/pdfdocs/n_west.pdf --
Caution: this is almost 5MB.)

I don't know what you mean by "fiction" or, for that matter, "all". A
fair chunk of the NLL is in Zone 3 -- everything east of Hackney Wick
(i.e., from Stratford to North Woolwich, Hampstead Heath and the
aforementioned Willesden Junction, and South Acton to Kew Gardens.
Acton Central is in 2, Kew Gardens is 3/4, and Richmond is in 4.

Clive
