Nunhead railway station serves Nunhead in the London Borough Of Southwark . The station and all trains serving it are operated by Southeastern .

The station has been the junction for three separate lines:
  • the original line from Canterbury Road Junction, near Brixton to Crystal Palace (High Level) opened by the London, Chatham And Dover Railway (LCDR) on 1 August 1865. The line was built to take passengers to the Crystal Palace exhibition site: train services on the line ceased from 1917-1919 and from 1944-1946 for wartime economies. The line finally closed to all traffic on 20 September 1954,

  • the Catford Loop Line was opened on 1 July 1892. It gave a second route out of London for the LCDR, and Nunhead thus became a junction.

  • the Nunhead - Greenwich Park line was opened 1871. That branch was closed on 1 January 1926.


In 1925, the lines in the area were electrified, and a new station at Nunhead was built on the London side of the original site. In 1929 cross-London freight services were re-routed to Hither Green, and a connection to to Dartford via Bexleyheath . There are also two trains an hour from London Blackfriars to Sevenoaks on the Catford Loop.
