St Johns railway station is in the London Borough of Lewisham, in southeast London. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by Southeastern.

Trains from the station run due west to London Bridge and then on to Cannon Street (most trains during the week) or Charing Cross (a few trains during the week, and all trains when Cannon Street is closed). To the east, trains run to Hayes, or via the Dartford Loop Line to Dartford or London via Sidcup and Woolwich Arsenal. A few peak trains run via the Bexleyheath Line.

The station is very close to Lewisham station, and many trains do not call at the station. There are only two platforms, on the slow lines - the fast lines diverge to avoid Lewisham just south of the station (although a flyover allows trains on the fast lines to serve Lewisham).

There is no direct road access to the station, which can be reached by a footbridge from St Johns Vale.

On 4 December 1957, two trains collided just southeast of the station on the Lewisham by-pass line, bringing down the Lewisham-Nunhead railway bridge.
