Leatherhead Station

Leatherhead Station is a railway station built in 1867 by C.H. Driver for the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway Company, and subsequently altered. It is constructed of red brick with stone and polychrome brick dressings, and has red tile roofs. The station comprises two ranges of buildings located on either side of the railway tracks, including a station master's house, ticket office, booking hall on the west (up) side, as well as waiting rooms, goods rooms, and a passenger subway. The architecture is in a Neo-Romanesque style.

The principal range on the west side features a single-storey, five-bay central section. A two-storey projecting wing, containing the station master's house, is positioned at the left (north) end, with an Italianate tower at the corner. A single-storey crosswing extends from the right end. The central range has an arcade of brick piers with moulded stone imposts and round-headed arches. These arches are flanked by sash windows, all sheltered under a prominent horizontal canopy with a fretted fringe, supported by slender iron columns with ornamental brackets. The Italianate tower displays a porch with two stout columns, foliated capitals, a pediment, a single-light window, a polychrome zig-zag band near the top, a Lombard frieze, and a pyramidal roof. The gable wall of the house has coupled arched windows and a central shaft with foliated capital and banded extradoses, enclosed by a polychrome-banded relieving arch with a keystone. A wide single-storey gable features coupled round-headed sash windows, visually emphasised by a central shaft and banded extradoses, all enclosed within a polychrome-banded relieving arch with a keystone. Additional features include a flat-roofed external covered passage to the subway, backed by a screen wall with small windows. On the platform side of this range, round-headed openings are visually linked by a continuous impost band decorated with carved foliation. The station master's house has triple sashes at the first floor, with large cast-iron crestings on the sills. A screen wall with a ten-bay blind arcade (three arches now covered by a wooden bookstall) is located at the left end of the west range.

The range on the east (down) side of the tracks incorporates a waiting room with four tall round-headed doorways leading to the platform, and a twelve-bay blind-arcaded screen wall extending to the left. The outer side of this range includes a porch with columns bearing stiff-leaf capitals, six round-headed sashes for the waiting room, and a covered passage to the subway, similar to that on the west side. The platform canopies on both sides are modern replacements and do not hold special architectural interest.
