Description
North Dulwich Station, built between 1866 and 1868 by Charles Barry Jnr for the former London Brighton and South Coast Railway, is a railway station designed in the Jacobean Revival style. The building is constructed of red brick with stone dressings and features low pitched slate roofs behind a cornice and blocking course.
The exterior presents an asymmetrical front with one storey on the left and two storeys on the right. A central, slightly recessed entrance loggia is supported by coupled stone columns that hold up three arches, although the central arch is missing its keystone. Behind the loggia, there are three round-arched entranceways adorned with decorative fan motifs in the tympana, a band at the spring, and doors that feature dentilled cornice heads and pilaster jambs.
Flanking the entrance loggia are banded, paired pilaster strips resting on a brick plinth, each embellished with carved decoration between subsidiary and main cornices. The right-hand two-storey section has square-headed mullioned windows with three lights. There is a later shop front on the left-hand bay.
At the rear, a glazed bridge spans the railway line, with roofed, arcaded stairways leading down to the platforms on either side. The platforms are supported by large brick buttresses forming the back of the cutting walls, and slender iron columns hold up the corrugated iron canopies over the platforms.
