Bowes Park railway station is in the London Borough of Haringey in north London, and is on the boundary of Travelcard Zone 3 and Travelcard Zone 4. The station and all trains serving it are is operated by First Capital Connect, on the Hertford Loop Line.
The station is a short walk from Bounds Green tube station on the Piccadilly Line. It has an unusual location in that it is situated between two quiet residential cul-de-sacs and is accessed from a footbridge over the railway line which divides those streets.
To the north of the station is a single siding in between the running tracks which is occasionally used to turn around GNER InterCity 225 trains heading for Bounds Green Depot. A connection to the now disused GER Palace Gates Line whose terminus, Palace Gates (Wood Green), lay just to the south, was made in 1929.
