The station was opened on 1st March 1880 as Putney Bridge & Fulham when the Metropolitan District Railway extended its line south from West Brompton. The station served as the terminus of the line until 1889 when the MDR built Fulham Railway Bridge across the River Thames and extended the line south to the London and South Western Railway's newly-built East Putney station where it connected to the L&SWR's new line to Wimbledon. Services from the station to Wimbledon began on 3rd June 1889. On 1st January 1902, the station was renamed Putney Bridge & Hurlingham referring to the nearby Hurlingham Park. It received its current name in 1932 and is now on the District Line. Almost the whole way from Fulham Broadway to East Putney is on viaduct.
