The station was opened by the Great Eastern Railway in 1872 on a new, more direct, route from London to
Enfield Town. The original double track line was made four-track in 1894, however platforms to serve these fast lines have never been added to Cambridge Heath. The station was closed in 1916 as a wartime economy measure though re-opened in 1919.
The line through Cambridge Heath was electrified in 1960. The station was served by Greater Anglia in the later privatised era though since 2015 the station has been part of the London Overground network.
The station is on a viaduct. There are at least four services an hour in each direction between
London Liverpool Street and Cheshunt or Enfield Town.
