History

A 1908 Railway Clearing House map of lines around the approaches to London Bridge.

The station opened with the line on 13 August 1866, and had two wooden side platforms and an intermediate centre platform to serve the third centre line.[3]

Until 1911 passenger trains ran to the East London line, stopping at Old Kent Road. This link was re-instated on 9 December 2012 by London Overground.

The present island platform dates from the 1970s which is on a viaduct with the line: there are 48 steps leading to it, and one block of platform buildings.

The station has step free access from platform to street via a lift. A ramp is required for wheelchair access to and from the train.[4]
