Imperial Wharf is a station located in Sands End in West London for London Overground and National Rail services.

The station is located on the West London line in between West Brompton and Clapham Junction stations and services are provided by the Overground and Southern National Rail services.

The station opened on Sunday 27 September 2009 and is managed by London Overground.[3]

The station is in the sub-district of Sands End where the railway passes over Townmead Road. Its name is taken from the adjacent redevelopment of a brownfield former industrial site, which has been developed into a luxury 1,800 apartment river-side complex by property developers St George since 2004. As the Imperial Wharf development continued to grow, so did the business case for the Imperial Wharf station. A further application for 1,500 residential units including a 37-storey tower was submitted to Hammersmith & Fulham Council in early 2009.[citation needed]

The station is also adjacent to Chelsea Harbour, and was known by this name during early stages of development.
