Station Court, a Listed Building of c.1800, served as an entrance and booking office for the now-closed Mitcham railway station during much of the time for which it was open to traffic between 1856-1997. In 2000 the railway was replaced by the tramway that now operates from Wimbledon to Croydon and beyond. It is sometimes claimed that the building seen here was built for the Surrey Iron Railway, a horse-drawn plateway which existed between 1802-1846, but there is no evidence to support this.
