Edmonton Green railway station is a station in the London Borough of Enfield on the White Hart Lane branch of the Lea Valley Lines. The station and most trains serving it are operated by London Overground. However a number of Abellio Greater Anglia services to Hertford East and Broxbourne continue to call during the peak hours. It is in Travelcard Zone 4 and receives services from Liverpool Street station.

The station was opened near the now closed Lower Edmonton (low level) railway station as "Edmonton Green" on 22 July 1872 by the Great Eastern Railway (GER) on its new more direct line from central London. It was renamed "Lower Edmonton" on 1 July 1883. The original name was re-adopted in 1992 as being more indicative of the area served and to promote the nearby Edmonton Green Shopping Centre. The ticket office was rebuilt in the early 1980s. Ticket Barriers were installed in 2012. Lifts to platform level are being installed and became operational in January 2015

On 31 May 2015 the Liverpool Street-Cheshunt/Enfield Town services, transferred from Abellio Greater Anglia to London Overground Rail Operations.^[3][4] This resulted in the ability of entitled Freedom Pass holders to use their passes at any time, as on the Underground, thus avoiding the need for those holders to carry an Oyster card when making journeys prior to 09:30.
