Great station. Lots of character. No barriers. Unfortunatley no lift, but compensated by the wonderful passenger community which is always helpulf and kind.

My station for years. Makes everything accessible. Trains every 30mins same schedules unless there are delays.

As you approach Nunhead Station there is very little to recommend it, let's be honest, it looks grotty from the outside. Yet a surprise awaits.
As you ascend the stairs and glance to your right you are treated to an unexpectedly superb view of the Canary Wharf skyline - which seems to leap out at you.

Furthermore, this station, tucked away in a small corner of Nunhead, has excellent links to the city.

It's a little rugged and unkempt with no public toilets but it's a vital and well used station for the local area.

Oh yes, the small tuck shop on the platform is very handy and reasonably priced - serving hot drinks, pastries etc.

Handy!

Typical small station on the outskirts of Peckham in South East London. The station has minimal facilities overall with a small ticket office, barely any seating and whilst the canopy protects against the rain, it doesn't help against the winds and cold.

The station has no step free access and I also didn't see many ticket machines either. Trains can be frequent at times and are served by both Thameslink and Southeastern, though you can expect delays and overcrowding.

On the plus side, the station offers a good view of Canary wharf if the weather is good.

Not a fan of this station; there's no phone reception and trains are frequently forced to wait outside it for prolonged periods with no explanation.

Nunhead is not a relevant place and I see no reason why it ought to have its own station. It's a pity it survived the Beeching cuts, but I live in hope that some future government may see fit to abolish it.

This station located on a great line that connects central London to Kent. There’s a small little coffee shop on the platform that sells all sorts of things.
This station has very less facilities such as no lifts even for disable people, less seating at platforms, a ticket office which close most of the times.

First time passing through this station. Connects to Seven oaks, swanley, Lewisham and other routes.

Nunhead Station is situated on a hill, hence the views across London are fabulous. The Station itself has two platforms which serve both Southeastern and Thameslink lines. There's a bike rack at the front of the station.
