Like all others on the branch, the station is built in the concrete style of the 1930s (see external link); it was designed by James Robb Scott and opened on 29 May 1938. South-west of the station is a three-span, 140 ft (42m) viaduct over the Hogsmill River, a tributary of the River Thames.
Both platforms were extended to take ten-coach trains on 8 May 2014.
