A station was first opened on this site in 1850 by the North London Railway. It closed in 1865 when an extension was built to Broad Street in the City of London and a triangular junction was installed which joined the existing tracks to the east and west of the station. A new Dalston Junction station was opened at the southern tip of the junction and it replaced Kingsland station. The present Dalston Kingsland station was rebuilt and reopened on 16 May 1983 as part of the rejuvenated North London Line from Richmond to North Woolwich. It eventually replaced Dalston Junction when it closed in 1986, along with the rest of the line to Broad Street. Dalston Junction re-opened on 27 April 2010 on the London Overground East London Line extension. This is the view from the end of the platform of Dalston Kingsland station looking towards Canonbury which is the next station. The curve from Dalston Junction can be seen coming in from the left, just this side of the high wall.
