Brockley Lane is a closed railway station in Brockley, south London. It was opened in June 1872 by the London, Chatham and Dover Railway on its Greenwich Park Branch Line. It closed to passengers in January 1917 with the branch, but remained open as a goods station until May 1970 (the Great Northern Railway had constructed a coal depot there in 1883).The site of the closed station is on Brockley Road, about 140 yards north-east of an open station now on the London Overground named Brockley, at a lower level on the London Bridge to Norwood Junction line, crossing under the former Greenwich Park branch. The line through Brockley Lane reopened to freight in 1929 and passengers in 1935 for trains from Dartford to London Victoria via a new link into Lewisham, but there has been no official suggestion that Brockley Lane might be rebuilt. The entrance to the station was in use as a shop until it was destroyed by fire in 2004. Short sections of the platforms are still visible at the lineside as are traces of the entrances on both sides of the bridge. The former stationmaster's residence opposite is now a private dwelling.
