It is located in the district of Hässelby strand, which is part of the borough of Hässelby-Vällingby in the west of the city of Stockholm.

Access is from Fyrspannsgatan through a building across the end of the platform that also includes shops and apartments.

[citation needed] The station was inaugurated on 18 November 1958 as the western end of an extension from Hässelby gård.

As part of a redevelopment of the centre of Hässelby strand, the original single-storey station building was closed and demolished in 2013, being initially replaced by a temporary building on a different site.

[2][4] As part of Art in the Stockholm metro project, the access route from the station building to the platforms was decorated in 2000 with a tile mosaic by artist Christian Partos [sv] entitled Teleportings.
