Braunston London Road was one of two railway stations that served the village of Braunston in Northamptonshire, England. On the Weedon to Leamington Spa branch line. The station was built on an embankment next to the village's wharf on the Grand Union Canal after the demolishing of a number of houses and a pub that were in the way [2].
Despite its small size, Braunston was also served by Braunston and Willoughby station on the former Great Central Main Line, which served Braunston and the village of Willoughby, which it was closer to.
The line closed to passengers in 1958, and freight in 1963.
