Peckham Rye railway station opened on 1st December 1865 for London, Chatham & Dover Railway trains and on 13th August 1886 for London Brighton & South Coast Railway trains. It was designed by Charles Henry Driver (1832–1900), the architect of Abbey Mills and Crossness Pumping Stations, who also designed the grade II listed Denmark Hill and Battersea Park stations between here and Victoria. Peckham Rye is almost two separate stations, linked by a booking hall. This view is from the southern (London, Chatham & Dover Railway) platform and looks down on Blenheim Grove.
