Eden Park railway station serves Eden Park in the London Borough of Bromley in south east London, in Travelcard Zone 5. It is therefore possible to use an Oyster card at the station. It is 12 miles 34 chains (20.0 km) down the line from London Charing Cross. The station and all trains serving it is operated by Southeastern on the Hayes line. The trains are electric, powered by a third rail.

Opened in 1882 by the South Eastern Railway, it is the first station along the branch line from Elmers End to Hayes and still has most of its original wooden buildings, surviving an arson attempt by the suffragettes in 1913 and a partial rebuilding in 1922.[2]
