Sydenham

Exterior of Sydenham on 29th November 2021. This was one of the original stations of the London & Croydon Railway, opened with the line on 5th June 1839 but this entrance dates from 1844 when the station was re-sited, slightly to the south. The tracks here are quadruple but the station has platforms only on the slow lines which are served by both National Rail Southern and London Overground trains and has been under the control of Transport for London since 23rd May 2010 when LO trains were first extended from New Cross Gate to Crystal Palace and West Croydon. The northbound platform was re-sited slightly to the north in 1982.
