History

The station was opened as Lower Norwood on the 1st December 1856 as part of the West End of London and Crystal Palace Railway. The station was renamed on the 1st January 1886 by the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway. This was due to an influx of new residents who objected to the "lower" suffix being applied, prefering instead to be described as West Norwood.

Electric train services were introduced on the 12th May 1911 between Victoria, Balham and Crystal Palace. This used an AC overhead wire system developed by the LBSCR as part of their Elevated Electric scheme. This was converted to the current Third rail DC system on the 3rd March 1929.

The orignal station buildings were demolished in 1969 and replaced with prefabricated CLASP buildings.
