The railway branch line from Nunhead to Greenwich park was closed in 1917 and never reopened this side of Lewisham. For a fuller history see http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/g/greenwich_park/ . This short stretch (40m) between Circus Street and Royal Hill is one of the few sections that has not yet been built on, although as of 2013 there was a planning application to do so.
