Opened in 1855 by the Wimbledon and Croydon Railway, which three years later became part of the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway, this station closed in 1997. Mitcham tram stop opened in 2000. View west towards Belgrave Walk and Wimbledon. The original 1855 station platforms were closer to the bridge in the distance, and remnants of them could still be seen in 2017.
