Abandoned and Lost railway stations of North London (NLR)

The North London Railway (NLR) company had lines connecting the northern suburbs of London with the East and West India Docks further east. The main east to west route is now part of London Overground's North London Line. Other NLR lines fell into disuse but were later revived as part of the Docklands Light Railway, and London Overground's East London Line.
The line from Dalston Junction to Poplar was heavily damaged during the Blitz of World War II. Passenger services from Broad Street to Poplar via Victoria Park and Bow were suspended on 15 April 1944 and officially closed on 14 May 1944.
The East London Line Extension took over the abandoned stretch between Dalston Junction and Shoreditch from April 2010, incorporating it into the London Overground network.

Beutiful Architecture we used to have for our Railways ,not anymore had some great days in the Roundhouse Chalk farm a great venue for live music back in 70 with Punk saw loads there,also the London Overground a Great idea from Red Ken using disused rail lines pity London doesn't have someone like him around today instead of the one we have road blocking without even a consultation. Great vid

Thank you for creating such an important record. The video of the current day scenes will one day be of historic interest in themselves. Your video shows how important it is to retain the alignment of closed railway, such that they can be used again, such as for the DLR and London Overground. More by luck than judgement perhaps.

Suk was Dvorak's pupil and son in law, and he learned well from the master!

You missed out Newington Road and Balls Pond Station (situated between Canonbury and Mildmay Park) which opened in 1858 and, having being renamed Canonbury for the final months of its life, was resisted to the West (the current Canonbury Station site) in 1870. Further details online.

Great video, some interesting archive photos. Sorry not to have seen the old Victoria Park Station included although there is no trace of it today. The references to Campden Town should be Camden Town.

I remember visiting Broad Street in its dying days. Unsurprsingly it had an air of depressed resignation and seemed like a hangover from another era even then.

Looks like England went from progress to regress. Such a shame.

@10:42, that was a beautiful building. @13:33, that is another lovely building. @22:35, that should be 'The bridge I stood on ...'. Thanks for the look back and the classical music made a change from the usual crap.

Very interesting presentation of this endlessly fascinating line - thank you for sharing. BTW I'm itching to know what the piece of quintet/string orchestra music was!

Fascinating. Change is cruel but necessary and relentless.

Used to visit Broad Street a fair bit. Very very quiet and quite sad to be honest. Loved those stairwells. Haven't been around the old Bishopsgate goods for a good while. Judging by the video, it's changed beyond recognition. Won't go back,that's for sure.

Here's lghthearted, but serious question foir you... Which of these abandoned stations 'could' have been the basis of the home that 'Wellington' and 'Boot' of the cartoon strip The Perishers lived in?

Everything in those past times was dull and black with soot mostly from burning coal. These days things are cleaner but the new blot on the landscape is bloody kids scribbling on almost any surface. The railways seem to suffer most of all.

The only people that try to block filming are people from the Third World. It tells you all you need to know about what they know about their own culture and behaviour, and the ignorance of ours where we can film where we like and what we like. It used to be called a free country. Don't like it, don't come. Damn depressing film. Hoodies and drug smells now. No standards. The architectural decline is palpable.
