Location

The station is a short walk from Hackney Central, on the North London line. Until Hackney Central's closure in 1944, a passenger connection linked the two stations.

Reopening

However, when Hackney Central reopened in 1985 between Dalston Kingsland and Homerton, the footway did not reopen (expected by 2015), and passengers transferring between the stations are now used to leave the station and transfer at street level.

The station was originally opened as Downs Junction Station in 1896.
