Forest Hill Station is a Muni Metro station near the Forest Hill and Laguna Honda neighborhoods in San Francisco, California. It was originally built as part of the Twin Peaks Tunnel in 1916-1918, and is the oldest subway station west of Chicago. The original name of the station is Laguna Honda Station, and the lettering on the front façade still says “• LAGUNA · HONDA · STATION • TWIN · PEAKS · TUNNEL •”. The station consists of two side platforms next to the tracks far below the surface. Forest Hill Station is located deeper underground than any other Muni Metro station; so much so that, unlike other stations, most people use an elevator to reach the platform at Forest Hill. Unlike all other underground Muni Metro stations, there is no underground concourse mezzanine level directly above the platform level. Instead, the concourse level is in a building on the surface.
Currently, the L Taraval and M Ocean View stop at the station both inbound and outbound. The K Ingleside stops on outbound trips while the T Third Street stops on inbound ones, as the two lines are interlined following a service change on June 30, 2007.
Scenes from the films Dirty Harry (1971) and Milk (2008) were shot inside of this station.
