It was at the corner ofJunction Road and its purpose-built spur, Station Road, inN19 between the districts ofDartmouth Park andTufnell Park then in the tapering north of the old parish ofIslington.

It comprised two wooden platforms, accessed by means of a footbridge and stairs, and also served the nearbyTufnell Park goods depot.

Trains from the station generally ran betweenSt Pancras orKentish Town toBarking orSouthend; however, over its history trains ran to a number of other locations includingCambridge,Chingford andVictoria.

It was initially very heavily used, mainly owing to the nearbyMetropolitan Cattle Market; at its peak, it was used in 1902 by over 140,000 passengers.^{[citation needed]} When the nearbyTufnell Park Underground station was opened on theCharing Cross, Euston and Hampstead Railway (now theNorthern line), passenger levels dropped drastically; in a 1937 poem,John Betjeman set a dark poetic lament at "this lonely station".^[1] The station was closed on 3 May 1943 and demolished in the early 1950s; the only remaining evidence of the station are the name "Station Road" and the old Station Master's House on Junction Road.

TheGospel Oak to Barking line is the name for the current, longer line. Calls for this station to be rebuilt, offering an interchange with the Northern line were amassed and presented in 2013. The Mayor of London and Transport for London jointly replied in a standard response to unfunded proposals to non-needy areas in public transport. They had no plans to do so; they will keep the possibility under review.^[2]
