The station opened as part of the extension of the electrified network from St Albans to Sydenham.

In 1986, boom barriers were installed at the former Taylors Road level crossing, which was located at the down end of the station.[2] A rail-road roundabout was provided at the level crossing in 1994.[3] The level crossing was grade separated in 2008.[4]
