The station was opened by the Metropolitan District Railway in 1889 on an extension from Putney Bridge station to Wimbledon. The extension was built by the London and South Western Railway. Mainline services through Southfields were ended by the Southern Railway (successor to the L&SWR) in 1941, although the line remained in British Rail ownership until 1994 when it was transferred to London Underground. Until the transfer, the station was branded as a British Rail station. District Line trains now use the station, but empty stock trains or occasional diversions by Southwest Trains when the line between Wimbledon and Clapham Junction needs to be avoided are also sometimes seen here.
