White Hart Lane is a London Overground station on the Lea Valley Lines, located in Tottenham in the London Borough of Haringey in north London. It is 7 miles 11 chains (11.5 km) down-line from London Liverpool Street and is situated between Bruce Grove and Silver Street. It is situated in Travelcard zone 3.
The station is close to Bruce Castle, at which the annual Tottenham Carnival is held, usually in mid-June, and to the home ground of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, White Hart Lane.
White Hart Lane was originally a stop on the Stoke Newington & Edmonton Railway and opened on 22 July 1872 and its vicinity soon took on a more urban character.
The Provisional IRA planted a small bomb at the station on 1 March 1992, which co-incided with a match day at White Hart Lane. It was defused without any disruption.
Today, the station and services that call are operated by London Overground, which took over from Abellio Greater Anglia in May 2015. At that time, the station was added to the Tube map.
On days that see football matches at Tottenham Hotspur's ground nearby the station sees increased usage. A special timetable operates on match days, with trains arriving and departing every few minutes before and after the game. There is an increase in the number of trains to and from the line's termini at Cheshunt and Enfield Town, as well as starting and terminating White Hart Lane trains and services to and from Edmonton Green and Liverpool Street. Abellio Greater Anglia occasionally serve the station on match days only, similarly to Northumberland Park Station
