Honor Oak Park
Exterior of Honor Oak Park, south-east London, on 15th October 2011. The line here was opened by the London & Croydon Railway in 1839 but this station was not added until 1st April 1886 by the LB&SCR to serve new suburban development. It is now owned by Transport for London and served by London Overground as well as National Rail Southern services. Not to be confused with the former and now demolished Honor Oak station on the LCDR's Crystal Palace High Level branch, opened in 1865 and closed in 1954 and which paralleled the Croydon line about a mile or so to the west. (Coincidentally, 1954 was also the year the GNR Alexandra Palace branch in north London closed after almost becoming part of the London Underground Northern Line.)
