Location

The station is on the Bexleyheath line, and opened when the line began operating on 1 May 1895.

A brand new station building was opened on 3 April 2021.

To the west of the station is the short Kidbrooke Tunnel. A goods yard at the station was closed, along with those at Eltham Well Hall and Bexleyheath stations, on 7 October 1968.
