List of closed railway stations in London

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Scope

This article lists closed heavy rail passenger stations in the London region, whose limits are a matter of debate, and it covers a less restricted area than some London articles. Stations that were served only by London Underground or its predecessors, Tramlink and the Docklands Light Railway are not included.

To help locate each station a major place name and a railway reference are given. The railway reference is generally the founding company but it may be another interested company or a line. The stations' linked articles should give more detailed information.
The full form of an abbreviation is seen by rolling over; linkage to "unwritten" articles and repeated linkage have been retained to facilitate that (See also Talk).
"Replaced by" is either a station which took over directly one closed, as Kings Cross for Maiden Lane, or one built later at the same location as some DLR stations were. "+/-" after a replacement's name indicates that it was near the disused station but slightly displaced along the same path.
Company and other superscripts distinguish stations with the same name.
§ after a station name indicates renaming before closure. Some stations were renamed several times.
