Berrylands railway station is a National Rail station serving the neighbourhood of Berrylands in the borough of Kingston upon Thames, London. It is 10 miles 78 chains (17.7 km) south-west of London Waterloo and is situated between New Malden and Surbiton.[2]
History
[edit]
It was opened on 16 October 1933 to serve large housing developments, which gave the station its name.[3] 90% of the cost of the station was financed by the local developers to enhance the attractiveness of the new estate to commuters.[4]
A ground level ticket office, built in 1969,[5] is connected by stairs to the platforms, which are on the outer tracks of the four-track main line. Until 2026, Berrylands was one of the few stations in the London area still with wooden platforms,[6] although the platforms had an extension in 2014.[5]
Network Rail closed the station from 11 May to 27 September 2026.[7] In this time the original wooden platforms were replaced and the station facilities upgraded, including the staircases, lighting, help points, CCTV, and Customer Information Screens.[8][9][10]
