The station was opened in 1866 by the West London Extension Joint Railway (WLEJR). The District Railway opened a station adjacent to the first one in 1869, a terminus until 1880 and the opening of the branch to
Wimbledon. Passenger services on the WLEJR line ceased in 1940 and did not resume on what is now called the West London Line until 1994. The WLEJR station and platforms were demolished.
New Network Rail platforms for West London Line services were opened in 1999, access being via the London Underground station.
