Opened in 1894 as 'Tooting Junction' jointly by the London Brighton & South Coast Railway and the London & South Western Railway, on the line from Streatham to Wimbledon. It replaced an earlier station 200m further west, where the former branch-line to Merton Abbey turned southwards. View west towards Haydons Road and Wimbledon. "Junction" was dropped from the station name in 1938.
