History

Opened in 1836, Deptford station is the oldest railway station in London that is still in use.^[3][4] It came into existence when the London and Greenwich Railway opened its first section between Spa Road, Bermondsey, and Deptford on 8 February 1836, with an intermediate station at Southwark Park.^[3][4] The line was extended westwards to the new London Bridge Station on 14 December 1836 and eastwards to Greenwich on 24 December 1838.

Deptford station was closed between 1915 and 1926. The original station building was demolished by the Southern Railway and replaced by a newer building, which was demolished around 2011.

The replacement building was opened on Thursday 26 April 2012; this rebuild has made the station fully accessible. A second entry/exit is now open since the refurbishment of the old carriage ramp is now complete; this new entrance is located on Platform 1. There are two ticket machines in the station, one in the ticket hall and the other next to the carriage ramp entrance on Platform 1.
