Berrylands Station in 1961

It was opened on 16 October 1933 to serve large housing developments, which gave the station its name. 90% of the cost of the station was financed by the local developers to enhance the attractiveness of the new estate to commuters.

A modern ground level station (1969) is connected by stairs to the platforms, which are on the outer tracks of the four-track main line. Berrylands is one of the few stations around the London area still constructed with wooden platforms.

Network Rail plans to close the station from Saturday 9 May 2026 until Sunday 23 August 2026 to replace the original wooden platforms and upgrade the rest of the station.
