South Tottenham is a railway station on the east-west Gospel Oak to Barking Line of the London Overground. It is located on the eastern side of the north-south A10 High Road in Tottenham, North London, between Harringay Green Lanes and Blackhorse Road. It is in Zone 3.

South Tottenham to Seven Sisters station (on the western, Seven Sisters Branch of the Lea Valley Lines and on the London Underground Victoria line) is considered an official out-of-station interchange by the National Rail timetable, and involves a short walk. This link will become fixed under the planned route for Crossrail 2, which sees a double-ended underground station built linking together South Tottenham and Seven Sisters stations.^[3]

History

Map dated 1914, showing South Tottenham station top right, on the "Tottenhm & Hampstead Jnt. (G.E. and Mid.)" railway

Opened as 'Tottenham and Stamford Hill' station on 1 May 1871, on the Tottenham and Hampstead Junction Railway, it was renamed 'South Tottenham' on 1 July 1903.

The station today

A short distance west of the station, on the far side of the A10, there is a single east-to-north turnout towards Seven Sisters. To allow this to be reached by westbound trains, there is a facing crossover, located in the platform area.

A short distance to the east of the station, there is a double turnout branching to the south, to reach the eastern route of the two north-south Lea Valley Lines. Visually from the platforms, this looks like it is the main line, since the main tracks curve to the north from the junction. (In fact, it was the original main line, since the Tottenham and Forest Gate Railway eastwards was a later addition.)

Both curves were formerly part of the route used by trains on the Palace Gates Line (which then continued onwards to North Woolwich) but these days see infrequent use, with just three booked London Overground passenger trains each week on Saturday only running over them (one between London Liverpool Street and Cheshunt, one between Liverpool Street and Edmonton Green and the other between Liverpool Street and Enfield Town via Stratford and Seven Sisters. These surviving parliamentary trains does not however stop at South Tottenham.

The station has been receiving investment, following station management passing to London Overground in 2007.
