Queens Road Peckham station opened with the rest of the line on 13th August 1866, and had two wooden side platforms and an intermediate centre platform to serve the third centre line. Until 1911 passenger trains ran to the East London Line stopping at Old Kent Road, and this link was re-instated on 9th December 2012 by London Overground. This photograph was taken during the first week of Overground operations. The chimney to the right belongs to the South East London Combined Heat & Power Plant (SELCHP) which is a well-known feature on the lines into London Bridge. To the right of that is Canary Wharf and its surrounding towers.
