Tulse Hill station was opened in 1868 by the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway as part of their line from London Bridge. In 1869, this was joined by the London, Chatham & Dover Railway's "Metropolitan Extension" line to Holborn Viaduct. The LB&SCR's through line to Streatham and Wimbledon opened in 1871. Knight's Hill Tunnel on the 1868 line can be seen in the distance. The bridge just ahead is over Thurlow Park Road, which is part of the South Circular Road.
