The station was constructed by theGreat Eastern Railway (GER) on itsStoke Newington & Edmonton Railway line and opened on 22 July 1872.^[8] On 1 January 1878, the GER opened a branch line, thePalace Gates Line, from Seven Sisters station toNoel Park and later that year toPalace Gates (Wood Green) station.

ThePalace Gates Line was closed byBritish Rail in 1963 for passengers and 1964 for freight, with the branch line track and platforms at Seven Sisters later removed.^[9] The single track curve toSouth Tottenham used by these trains en route to Tottenham Hale, Stratford andNorth Woolwich remained open however, and over the years has been used by a"Parliamentary" service between Liverpool Street and Enfield Town to avoid the need to institute closure proceedings for that curve, as well as the one linking South Tottenham with theWest Anglia Main Line at Tottenham South Junction and even the Coppermill Junction to Stratford line for some years prior to its reopening to regular passenger trains in 2005. In the spring 2025 timetable, two trains (the 23:42 Enfield Town to Liverpool Street on Mondays to Thursdays and the 05:30 Liverpool Street to Enfield Town on Saturdays) both use this route and stop at the station.

On 24 July 1967, planning permission was granted to convert the station for London Underground use.^[10] The first section of the Victoria line opened on 1 September 1968, serving Seven Sisters,^[8] although a shared entrance and interchange facilities with the surface station were not opened until December 1968. The original GER entrance to the station was situated in West Green Road at the north end of the surface station, but the new combined entrance was opened inSeven Sisters Road at the south end on the site of a former wood merchants' yard, connecting to the west end of the Victoria line platforms. The original (1872) entrance was closed at that time.The National Rail platforms are not at street level. Platform 1 (towards London Liverpool Street) is accessed by twin staircases. Platform 2 (towards Enfield Town & Cheshunt) has a staircase and an "up" escalator.

A second entrance at the east end includes the main Victoria line ticket hall, and is accessed via subways on each side of High Road just north of the junction with Seven Sisters Road. There are three Victoria line platforms at Seven Sisters, with one platform reserved for services which terminate at the station to return to the depot or reverse back into central London, although a connection is available for trains to continue toWalthamstow Central.

The distance between Seven Sisters and Finsbury Park stations on the Victoria line is 3.15 km (1.96 miles) making it the longest distance between adjacent stations in deep level tunnels on theLondon Underground network.^[11] During the planning phase of the Victoria line, thought was given to convertingManor House into a Victoria line station and diverting thePiccadilly line in new tunnels directly from Finsbury Park toTurnpike Lane viaHarringay Green Lanes, but the idea was abandoned because of the inconvenience this would cause, as well as the cost.

On 31 May 2015, the station and most National Rail services that call here transferred fromAbellio Greater Anglia toLondon Overground.^[12][13]

During summer 2015, there was no Victoria line service between Seven Sisters andWalthamstow Central to facilitate works outside of Walthamstow Central station, which would boost capacity along the line.^[14]

Most Greater Anglia Services (on the Liverpool Street toHertford East and Bishops Stortford route) were withdrawn from this station at the May 2023 timetable change. However, some late evening and early morning Greater Anglia services still call.^[15]

Seven Sisters is located on theWeaver line of theLondon Overground, with all services operated usingClass 710EMUs.

The typical off-peak service in trains per hour is:^[16]

• 4 tph toLondon Liverpool Street
• 2 tph toCheshunt
• 2 tph toEnfield Town

The typical off-peakLondon Underground service on theVictoria line in trains per hour is:^[17]

• 27 tph toWalthamstow Central
• 27 tph toBrixton viaVictoria

Additional services call at the station during the peak hours.

In May 2013 it was announced that the station would be on the latest proposed route forCrossrail 2,^[18] with a double-ended underground station built linkingSouth Tottenham and Seven Sisters stations.^[19]

The station is served by a number ofLondon Buses day and night time routes.^[20]

Seven Sisters is the nearest station on the London Underground network toTottenham Hotspur Stadium and footfall is heavy on home match days.
