Iffley Halt railway station was built by the Great Western Railway to serve Iffley, a suburb of Oxford; it was actually in Kennington, and not in Iffley.
The station was situated at the western end of Kennington Railway Bridge, which crosses the River Thames.[1] Access from Iffley was via the River Thames towpath, which has a footbridge over Hinksey Stream close to this point. It was opened on 1 February 1908 along with four other halts on the former Wycombe Railway route between Oxford and Wheatley.[2][3]
Services were provided by steam railmotors based at Oxford, which was also the western terminus; the eastern terminus of these services was Wheatley, Thame or Princes Risborough.[4] When the railmotor services were withdrawn on 22 March 1915, the halt closed.[2] The line remained open for through passenger services, but these did not call at Iffley Halt.
