Herne Hill railway station is located in the London Borough of Lambeth, south London, England. () The station is above road level near the junction of five main roads. The original brick buildings at street level, with arched window decoration, are still a feature. The more modern buildings on the two island platforms provide faces to the main lines and the Up and Down passenger loops. The platform on the Up side includes a coffee bar and waiting room for connecting passengers; there are fewer facilities on the Down side.

The station was opened by the London, Chatham and Dover Railway, as part of its main access route to London Victoria station, on 25 August 1862. Today the station is served by South Eastern Trains to Kent, and by Thameslink trains from Luton to Wimbledon via Sutton. Until Thameslink came into being, trains were divided and joined at Herne Hill for the Holborn Viaduct - West Croydon and the Victoria - Orpington trains.

There have been rumours that the Victoria Line may be extended to Herne Hill to provide faster turnaround at the southern end of the line (date?).
