West Norwood railway station is in the London Borough of Lambeth in West Norwood, south London. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by Southern, and it is in Travelcard Zone 3. Services from platform 1 go to London Victoria and London Bridge via Tulse Hill. Services from platform 2 operate to more varied destinations, including West Croydon and London Bridge via Crystal Palace.

The station is located in West Norwood above Norwood High Street with its main entrance on the A215 road here called Knights Hill. The station saw some modernisation in Summer 2009 with ticket gates installed and the entrance to the eastbound platform refurbished. From spring 2010 the gates have been staffed from first to last train.

History

The station was opened as Lower Norwood on 1 December 1856 as part of the West End of London and Crystal Palace Railway. The station was renamed on 1 January 1886 by the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway. This was due to an influx of new residents who objected to the "lower" suffix being applied, preferring instead to be described as West Norwood.^[3]

Electric train services were introduced on 12 May 1911 between Victoria, Balham and Crystal Palace. This used an AC overhead wire system developed by the LBSCR as part of their Elevated Electric scheme. This was converted to the current Third rail DC system on 3 March 1929.

The original station buildings were demolished in 1969 and replaced with prefabricated CLASP buildings.
