The line on which it stands was opened in 1839, but this station was only opened by the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway on 1 April 1886. There are four tracks through the station, with platforms on the outer Slow lines. These platforms are connected to the booking office (see illustration) by means of an footbridge.
The station has benefited from the London Overground East London Line extension, completed in May 2010, which has led to it being on one of the most connected stations in South East London with direct trains to Whitechapel (19mins), Shoreditch(23mins), Canada Water (10mins), London Victoria and London Bridge (11mins). Commuter areas such as Canary Wharf, Liverpool Street, Kings Cross and Waterloo are just one change of train away.
From 2018 this station may also benefit from the Thameslink Project [3] which could introduce direct trains from Honor Oak Park through to London Bridge and on to Hertfordshire via St Pancras International. This would enable most of London to be accessible in a relatively short time compared to now. This will also coincide with Crossrail being constructed at Whitechapel ensuring that East to West as well as South to North London will be easily accessible from Honor Oak Park.
