The line from Bethnal Green station to Stoke Newington station was opened by the Great Eastern Railway on 27th May 1872. The route was continued on to Lower Edmonton on 22nd July 1872 and to Edmonton Junction on 1st August 1872. Bruce Grove station opened with that part of the line on 22nd July 1872. In the early 1980s several changes were made to the appearance of the station. The wooden covered staircases to both platforms were replaced by open-air concrete staircases. The London-bound platform roof was shortened and the waiting rooms boarded up. The northbound roof was completely removed but a new roof, built in the style of the original though much shorter, was constructed 20 years later. This can be seen on the left. This view from the up platform looks down the line. The next station in this direction is White Hart Lane.
