Opened in 1872 by the Great Eastern Railway on its line from London Liverpool Street to Broxbourne, this station replaced the 1843 station at Mile End, some 350m to the east. View east, although the line immediately curves sharply towards the north. Until 1946 there were a further two platforms to the right, on the original line (to Shenfield).
