Crofton Park is a station on the 'Catford Loop' West Hampstead Thameslink to Sevenoaks route, between Nunhead and Catford. It is in Travelcard Zone 3.

Crofton Park is an enclave of, and historic centre of Brockley, in the London Borough of Lewisham and is situated roughly 6.5 miles (10.5 km) south east of London Blackfriars.

Services

The typical off-peak service is:

  • Two trains per hour to West Hampstead Thameslink via Peckham Rye, London Blackfriars, City Thameslink, Farringdon and St Pancras International. Operated by Thameslink.
  • Two trains per hour to Sevenoaks via Bromley South and Swanley.
  • A limited morning peak service started in December 2016 with direct services to Victoria (4 trains). Short connection times at Denmark Hill / Nunhead mean there are no direct trains from Victoria to Crofton Park.
  • The station has an automated ticket machine on the overbridge; the station ticket office is open Mon - Fri 0640-1320. In 2007 the ticket office was closed at weekends; however recently (mid-2008) the ticket office has been open on Saturdays. The Southeastern website in March 2014 advertised ticket office hours as Mon - Fri: 06:40 - 13:20/ Sat - Sun: closed.

    New level access facilities were constructed to avoid the stairs to the platform (as of 2008). There is now step-free access to platform 1 (northbound) from Marnock Road, and step-free access to platform 2 (southbound) from Lindal Road. There is also step-free access to the ticket office on Brockley Road - although it is a few minutes walk from the step free access points.
