History

The Greenford branch of the Great Western Railway (GWR) had been used for regular passenger services since 1904,^[2] but the halt at South Greenford did not open until 20 September 1926.^[3][4]

The station's platforms were taken from Trumpers Crossing Halte railway station when it closed six months prior.^[5]

Originally named South Greenford Halt, the suffix was dropped on 5 May 1969.^[6]

At present, signage on the station carries, in smaller font, an alternative name for the station. The alternative name is "West Perivale".
