Designed by Charles Henry Driver the station opened in December 1865. Initially it was served by the London, Chatham & Dover Railway. The London, Brighton & South Coast Railway connected to the station in August the following year. It remains to this day a station with two separate sides. The pleasing aspect of the main station building is sadly obscured from pedestrians on Rye Lane by more recent retail developments.
