The CCE & HR was the last of the UERL's three tube railways to open and was advertised as the " Last Link ".

The official opening on 22 June 1907 was made by David Lloyd George, President of the Board of Trade, after which the public travelled free for the rest of the day.

From its opening, the CCE & HR was generally known by the abbreviated names Hampstead Tube or Hampstead Railway and the names appeared on the station buildings and on contemporary maps of the tube lines.
