Dalston Junction was originally a railway station in the London Borough of Hackney in London, England. It was situated on the North London Railway that ran to Broad Street railway station. It was situated at the corner of Kingsland High Street and Dalston Lane and was linked to the North London Line by two partly covered curves that ran both east and west to the north of the station.

The station closed along with the rest of the line in 1986; since then the site has been boarded up and derelict. Nevertheless, the locality has retained the name of the station - both the road signs and bus stops indicate that one is at 'Dalston Junction'.

[edit] East London Railway

In early 2005 the few remaining parts of the former station were demolished to facilitate the construction of a new station on the extended East London Railway. Rather than being a tube line, services will form part of the London Overground network. The new station is due to be opened in June 2010 with through services via the currently disused west curve to Canonbury and Highbury & Islington. Dalston Junction's location is close to that of the open Dalston Kingsland railway station; when the London Overground opens, London Underground maps will show the two stations as an interchange.
