East Putney is the junction of the London Underground District line and the Network Rail (formerly London and South Western Railway) link from the Windsor lines to the South Western main line near Wimbledon. The latter is now single track and is only normally used for empty stock workings to and from East Wimbledon depot, hence the overgrown state of the far platform. For a good many years, the line between here and Wimbledon was owned by British Rail despite the passenger train service being provided almost exclusively by the Underground, hence the Network SouthEast signage and decor in Image By 2007, ownership of the line from here to a point just south of Wimbledon Park station had passed to the Underground, although in 2014 it was still signalled by Network Rail equipment controlled from Wimbledon.

Looking south. A train of D78 District Line stock has just left, bound for Wimbledon.

View northward, LT District Line leftwards towards Central London and Upminster, also High Street Kensington and Edgware Road. Rightwards are the ex-LSWR lines to Clapham Junction and Waterloo: the platforms on that line were closed from 5/5/41 when the regular local services by that route ceased, but diverted through trains and especially empty stock used the loop, joining the Windsor Lines at Point Pleasant Junction; the Up line of this loop had just been closed (2/91) and the Down line resignalled for reversible working.

This bridge leads from Keswick Road towards Clockhouse Place. It passes over the railway line of the Underground, between East Putney and Southfields on the Wimbledon branch of the District line.

This station is served by trains of London Transport's District Line, between Edgware Road and Wimbledon, or between Wimbledon and Mansion House and points east thereof. The line on the extreme right is a seldom-used National Rail spur which links to Clapham Junction.

It is on the Wimbledon branch of the District Line, between Putney Bridge and Southfields, and is on the boundary between Travelcard Zones 2 and 3. The entrance to the station is on Upper Richmond Road.
