The station was opened by the Metropolitan District Railway in 1889 on an extension from Putney Bridge station to Wimbledon. The District Line tracks are out of the picture to the left. The tracks here are used by empty stock trains or occasional diversions by Southwest Trains when the line between Wimbledon and Clapham Junction needs to be avoided. The disused platform on the right hand side of the photograph was last used by stopping passenger trains in 1941.
