The station is integrated into the YeongdeungpoLotte Department Store. Located in the station areLotteria,Dunkin' Donuts,Krispy Kreme, andKFC.

Yeongdeungpo station opened on September 18, 1899, as a stop on theGyeongin Line. On April 1, 1936, trains on theGyeongbu Line began calling here. The station's name was changed to "Namgyeongseong" (South Gyeongseong,Gyeongseong being the then name ofSeoul), but it reverted to its current name on April 1, 1943, and on January 1, 1949, the station was given "Level 5" in its classification of importance. The station building was destroyed on June 30, 1950, five days after the beginning of theKorean War, and a new building was not completed until January 12, 1965. On February 1, 1968, the station was deemed to be of "Level 4" importance. Trains on theSeoul Subway began running through Yeongdeungpo on August 15, 1974. The station stopped handling freight on May 1, 2006.^[1]

On September 18, 1899, when the Gyeongin Line opened,Noryangjin Station was located at the site of Yeongdeungpo Station, but it was not possible to build a station near the Han River due to flooding. On July 8, 1900, when theGyeongin Line was fully opened, Noryangjin Station was moved to its current location. The existing station facilities in Yeongdeungpo were kept for operation, but when the residents of Yeongdeungpo demanded that trains stop there, the Gyeongin Railroad Joint Stock Company converted the facilities to Yeongdeungpo Station operations.

The first train on weekdays (not including national holidays) is at 5.04 a.m. for northbound and 5.05 a.m. for southbound, while the last is at 00.04 a.m. for northbound and 00.24 a.m. for southbound. Travel time toSuwon takes 45 minutes, while travel time toIncheon takes 53 minutes.

All express trains, except for theSeoul -Cheonan Express, stop here, and theGwangmyeong Shuttle stops here. In addition, trains to Incheon depart twice a day. In addition, it has become a gathering point for almost all Mugunghwa, Saemaeul, andKTX service systems.
