Walthamstow Central /ˈwɔːlθəmstoʊ, ˈwɒl-/ is a railway station located in Walthamstow, London, and served by both London Underground and London Overground services. It is the northern terminus of the Victoria line, and is on the Chingford Line of the London Overground.
It is a short walk from Walthamstow Queen's Road station by means of a dedicated footpath known as Ray Dudley Way.
On 31 May 2015, services on the Chingford Line transferred from Abellio Greater Anglia to London Overground.
The station was opened by the Great Eastern Railway (as Hoe Street) in 1870 when a line was opened from Lea Bridge to a temporary station called Shern Hall Street which was east of the Hoe Street station. The line that the Chingford branch uses today (2016) was opened two years later in 1872 with the branch being extended later to Chingford in 1873.
The GER was taken over by the London and North Eastern Railway in 1923.
