This station was opened on the then-new West End of London and Crystal Palace railway in 1856, as just plain 'Streatham'. The addition of 'Hill' came in 1869 by which time the line had become part of the London Brighton and South Coast Railway. It remains as a well-used and important part of London's railway network.
