History
White Hart Lane was originally a stop on the Stoke Newington & Edmonton Railway and opened on 22 July 1872 and its vicinity soon took on a more urban character.
The Provisional IRA planted a small bomb at the station on 1 March 1992, which co-incided with a match day at White Hart Lane. It was defused without any disruption.
Today, the station and services that call are operated by London Overground, which took over from Abellio Greater Anglia in May 2015. At that time, the station was added to the Tube map.
Tottenham Hotspur matches
