There is no ticket office or ticket machine. There is a Permit to Travel machine which is rarely working. There is an electronic display of departures but no audio messaging.

Until 1961 this station served as the terminus of the Westerham Valley Branch Line from Brasted and Westerham. When this line was constructed, a subway was built which passed under the branch platform and allowed access from the main station forecourt to a footpath leading west to Dunton Green. This subway remains in place today.
