Opened in 1858 as Bromley by the London Tilbury & Southend Railway on the line from London to Upminster, this station was rebuilt in 1905 when the District Line platforms to the left were added, and again in 1972 following a fire. 'Heavy rail' trains ceased to call at the platforms on the right in 1962 and the station was transferred from British Rail to London Transport in 1969. It was renamed Bromley-by-Bow in 1967.
