Homerton railway station is in the London Borough of Hackney in East London. It is on the North London Line, and the station and all trains serving it are operated by London Overground. It is in Travelcard Zone 2.
The station is in Homerton, and close to Homerton University Hospital and Hackney Marshes.
With the exception of a partial section of wall to the north of the bridge over Barnabas Road, the original 1868 station has been demolished. Although of reduced size, the original station building would have been similar to buildings remaining at Hackney Central and Camden Road. The present basic station was built in the 1980s when passenger operation was restored to the North London Line.
