The first service on the line between Grove Park and Bromley North stations ran on 1st January 1878. To appease the owner of Sundridge Park a station was opened between the two stations and called Plaistow. The buildings were added in the mid 1890s when housing development had virtually joined Plaistow to Bromley. The station was renamed Sundridge Park on 1st July 1894, partly as it sounded rather more upmarket and also to avoid confusion with the station of the same name in East London. It now operates as a shuttle service between Bromley North and Grove Park. This view is from the road bridge at Plaistow Lane towards Grove Park and shows how the station is here in a cutting.
