Anerley station
The railway here follows the line of the Croydon Canal which ran for nearly ten miles from Croydon, via Forest Hill, to the Grand Surrey Canal at New Cross. It opened in 1809, and closed in 1836, making it the first canal to be formally abandoned by an Act of Parliament. Much of the alignment was used by the London & Croydon Railway Company (to whom the canal had been sold for £40,250). The station was opened originally as Annerley by the London & Croydon Railway in 1839. It was situated in a largely unpopulated area, but was built as part of an agreement with the local landowner. The line was also used by the London & Brighton Railway from 1841 and the South Eastern Railway from 1842. In the early 1850s, the line was quadrupled and at this time the station was rebuilt. London Overground trains now operate from the station, as well as Southern trains.
