Victoria Park railway station (NLR)
- Victoria Park railway station (NLR)
Victoria Park railway station was a former railway station near Victoria Park, London. It was on the North London Railway between Homerton and Old Ford stations; the station was situated on the north-east corner of the Park, near Wick Road. It opened in 1850, and a spur line linking it to Stratford opened in 1854.
The railway line east of Dalston Junction was cut off after bomb damage in the Blitz and Victoria Park station shut in 1944. It never re-opened and was completely demolished and the line to Stratford realigned when the East Cross Route (formerly A102(M) but now A12) was constructed in the late 1960s along the railway's alignment to Old Ford station as part of the aborted London Motorway Box scheme. The site is now occupied by slip roads to the junction. Hackney Wick station on the North London Line was later opened to the east.
