Description

The station was opened in 1932 and is built in the utilitarian concrete style of the 1930s. It has an island platform with the ticket office in the overbridge opposite the platform entrance steps.

Access to the station is from either side of the line, the east side from Stoneleigh Broadway, and the west side from Station Approach, off Stoneleigh Park Road. In 2013, the platform was extended so that ten-carriage trains can stop at the station. This opened in late 2014.

During the 1980s-1990s the station won many awards for "Best Station" due to its well kept flower beds set between the platforms.
