The station building was designed by William Burgess for the Great Eastern Railway and was opened in 1903 on the branch line from Woodford to Ilford via Hainault. As part of the 1935 - 1940 New Works Programme of the London Passenger Transport Board the line was to be electrified and the station was to be transferred to form one of the eastern extensions of the Underground's Central Line. In the event the disruption of the Second World War delayed progress and the transfer and electrification was not effected until 1948. With its small domed cupola on top the building is Grade II Listed.
