Old Kent Road railway station was a railway station in East London. It was opened in 1866 on a viaduct that connected what is today Surrey Quays tube station on the East London Line and Queen's Road Peckham railway station on the South London Line. It was operated by the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway.The station was closed in 1917 as traffic along the spur ceased.

[edit] Future

East London Line Extension plans.

The proposed extension to the East London Line will see the spur re-opened to allow through services to Clapham Junction for the first time in roughly a century. A new station Surrey Canal Road will be built around 700 metres north of the site of the former Old Kent Road station as part of the East London Line extension project if funding is found for phase 2 of the project.^{[1] [2]}
