Lewisham Road railway station

Lewisham Road railway station was a railway station in Lewisham, London built by the London, Chatham and Dover Railway on the Greenwich Park branch. It was opened in 1871. It was very close to the South Eastern Railway's St Johns railway station, which still remains open. Althrough the line was intended to rival South Eastern's own line through Greenwich it was probably the competition from this which contributed to the low passenger use of stations like this and Greenwich Park station, which eventually saw the line closed in 1917 during the First World War.

Today the station building still remains as a furniture shop, but the platforms were long ago removed. All the line to the East of the station has been removed and extensively built over.
