| rdfs:comment | - Despite being on a prime location (on Stockwell Street) it failed to attract sufficient passengers, possibly because the rival Greenwich station offered a shorter journey into central London. Due to wartime economies it closed in 1917. The section between Nunhead and Lewisham Road was reopened in 1929 by the Southern Railway with a new connecting spur to Lewisham, providing another route into central London. The section between Lewisham Road and Greenwich Park was officially abandoned in 1929.
- Greenwich Park railway station was a railway station in Greenwich, London opened in 1888 by the London, Chatham and Dover Railway. It was intended to rival the South Eastern Railway's Greenwich Station which had opened over 50 years earlier. It served as the terminus for the Greenwich Park branch, which ran from Nunhead to Greenwich Park. It took its name from the nearby Greenwich Park, home of the Royal Observatory.

Due to wartime economies it closed in 1917. The section between Nunhead and Lewisham Road was reopened in 1929 by the Southern Railway with a new connecting spur to Lewisham, providing another route into central London. The section between Lewisham Road and Greenwich Park was officially abandoned in 1929. After 1929 the station was demolished and the cutting occupied by the trackbed and platforms was infilled. The site is occupied by a hotel and its car park. Nothing remains of the railway north-east of Lewisham Road station except for a short section of embankment adjacent to St Johns station.
