(2016)
Hoe Street station was opened, along with a goods yard on the south side of the station, on 26 April 1870 by the Great Eastern Railway (GER). The station had only one platform, on the Up side, until the line here was doubled in 1873.
The station name gained the suffix 'Walthamstow' in 1886 to become Hoe Street, Walthamstow.
The goods yard closed on 2 November 1964 and is now the site of the station car park.
The station name was changed to Walthamstow Central on 6 May 1968 in readiness for the arrival of the Victoria line which opened here on 1 September 1968.
Operation of the surface part of the station, along with the rest of the Chingford Line, was transferred to Transport for London (TfL) in 2015 and is now part of the London Overground network.
