Streatham Hill station was the first one to open in Streatham, and still has the original station building, which, as a timber build, is showing signs of age.
It's not a station to use if you use a wheelchair, have lots of luggage or prams, as there are four sets of stairs to navigate to get to the platform.
Train services are frequent Mondays to Saturdays, with four trains per hour Mondays to Saturdays to London Victoria (journey time: 17 minutes), two trains per hour to London Bridge and two trains per hour to West Croydon. Sundays offers two trains to Victoria and two to Sutton via West Croydon. There are also some quirks during peak times and evenings.
Southern who operate the station have started a major refurbishment programme, which will include a new footbridge, the installation of lifts and a better station environment - it can't come quick enough!
