Deptford is on the North Kent Line, about three miles from London Bridge station. The staggered platforms are on the London Bridge to Greenwich railway viaduct, a high brick viaduct on which the line runs at this point, above High Street, Deptford.
Opened in 1836, Deptford station is reputedly the oldest railway station in London, and the oldest suburban station in the world, to survive on its existing site.
