Peckham Rye railway station is a station on Rye Lane in the centre of the shopping district of Peckham in South London. It opened on 1 December 1865 for LC&DR trains and on 13 August 1886 for LB&SCR trains.[2] It was designed by Charles Henry Driver (1832–1900), the architect of Abbey Mills and Crossness pumping stations, who also designed the grade II listed Denmark Hill and Battersea Park stations between here and Victoria.
It is between Denmark Hill and Queens Road Peckham on the Inner South London Line, between Denmark Hill and Nunhead on Catford Loop services, and between Queens Road Peckham and East Dulwich on the Sutton and Mole Valley Line. It is in Travelcard Zone 2.
Peckham Rye at a railway crossroads is a key interchange; trains go to Dartford, London Bridge, Victoria, Blackfriars, Sevenoaks, West Croydon and Beckenham Junction.

The station will be on the London Overground line from Clapham Junction to Surrey Quays. A service of four trains per hour will start in late 2012. At the same time the London Bridge to Victoria service via Denmark Hill service will end as London Bridge will not have space for this service when it gets rebuilt due to the Thameslink Programme.
This will reduce the direct service to Victoria. Southern will continue to run its services to and from London Bridge with a reduction from six trains per hour to four trains per hour at off peak times (6 trains per hour at peak times.)
Ticket gates were installed in May 2009 and during late 2010 the station was refurbished as part of a 'deep clean' by Southern.
In the first episode of The Sweeney, "Ringer", the station's platforms, steps, and entrance were filmed for Regan and Carter's chase on foot of Billy who had stolen Regan's girlfriend's car.
