The only intermediate stopping place on the Romford - Upminster branch, now elevated to station status with no physical change apart from Overground rebranding on the signs.

The Romford to Upminster Line was constructed in 1893 as a branch of the London, Tilbury & Southend Railway from Upminster. This opened on 7th June 1893 at a second station in Romford which was combined with the main station at Romford in 1934. Emerson Park station was opened on 1st October 1909 as Emerson Park Halt. A video about the line can be seen at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TwuKTthbTU There is a half hourly London Overground train to either Romford and Upminster from the single bi-directional platform. This view looks under Butts Green Road towards Romford.

Emerson Park originates from the development of suburban housing in the late 19th century after the coming of the railway. The majority of the houses are large and detached and the roads are tree-lined. This is Parkstone Avenue, looking across the entrance to Rockchase Gardens.
