Trains to Earlsfield

Earlsfield is a south-west London rail station in the London Borough of Wandsworth. Named after the now-demolished Victorian residence whose land was needed to build the station, the station was opened in 1884 by the London and South Western Railway. Train lines were already passing the area in 1838, but it wasn’t until the Davis family, who owned the residence, sold the required land that Earlsfield got a place on the mainline map.
