The station is located where the existing railway line passes over Townmead Road in Sands End. Its name is taken from the adjacent residential development of abrownfield site, which has been redeveloped into a luxury 1,800 apartment riverside complex by property developers St George since 2004. A further application for 1,500 residential units including a 37-storey tower was submitted toHammersmith & Fulham Council in early 2009.^{[citation needed]} The station is also adjacent toChelsea Harbour, and was known by this name during early stages of development.

History

[edit]

Calls for a station here were met in 2005 with a fully costed station and signalling at £3 million, of which £1.7 million had already been provided by Berkeley Homes Plc through its St George upmarket London-focused subsidiary,^[4] the developer of the Imperial Wharf site, leaving a funding shortfall of £1.3 million.^[5]

In October 2007,Hammersmith and Fulham Council announced that St George Homes had agreed to provide another £1.2 million, roughly enough to complete the project. It is also reported that the planning permission for the whole of the Imperial Wharf development was only given on the basis that a station was built.^{[citation needed]}

The station secured full funding on 28 April 2008.^[6]^[7] The total cost of the station was £7.8 million with the following contributions: £4.8 million from St George, £1 million fromTransport for London, £650,000 from theRoyal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and £1.35 million from theLondon Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham.^[8] The first services from the station ran on Sunday 27 September 2009, with a formal opening ceremony by theMayor of London,Boris Johnson, on 29 September.^[8]

The new station provides an important link for theSands End area toClapham Junction station in the south ofLondon and northwards towardsWillesden Junction station. This will be particularly important as the area is further developed by both private and public organisations. This investment includes a new residential development called "The Gallery" which has been started on recently cleared land next to theLaura Ashley offices, between Bagleys Lane and Elbe Street.

There are also plans by another developer to redevelop theLots Road Power Station into 395 residential units. The semi-derelict building, on Chelsea Creek close to the River Thames, is a large, disused,coal-fired power station. It was designed in 1902 and completed in 1905 and until 2003 was used to provide power forLondon Underground. The developers had hoped to complete the redevelopment by 2013.

Chelsea Harbour Pier, which is approximately 250 metres away provides river buses services.^[12]

Abandoned future proposal

[edit]

There were proposals, supported by RBK&C, to include a stop at this location, on the proposedCrossrail 2 line (known for a time as the 'Chelsea-Hackney Line'). If these plans were carried forward, then it would provide an interchange betweenLondon Overground services and eitherLondon Underground or main line commuter rail services, depending on which standards the new line is built to.^[13]

However, as of 2025, it is unlikely that Crossrail 2 can proceed via this location due to the engineering complexities of a kink in the route between the proposed Chelsea station and Clapham Junction. The nearestLondon Underground stations will remain Fulham Broadway, West Brompton and Sloane Square. Fulham Broadway was also once planned for the Crossrail 2 route but aborted.^[14]
