History of Tottenham Hale Station

The station first opened its doors a long time ago, on 15 September 1840. Back then, it was simply called Tottenham. It was part of the Northern & Eastern Railway (N&ER) line. This line connected Stratford in east London to Broxbourne in Hertfordshire.

The station got its current name, Tottenham Hale, on 1 September 1968. This happened when the first part of the Victoria Line opened. With the new underground line, Tottenham Hale became an important place where passengers could switch between the main train lines and the underground.
