Silver Street station is located on a long straight section of elevated track, on theLea Valley lines fromLiverpool Street toCheshunt andEnfield Town. Looking north, the platforms atEdmonton Green can be seen (there is just 50 chains (1.0 km) between the two stops) whilst looking south, trains leavingWhite Hart Lane are seen almost immediately as they leave that station (it being only 64 chains (1.3 km) from Silver Street).

The station takes its name from the street so-called which is recorded thusc. 1630 and which possibly alludes tosilversmiths living in the area at that time or before.^[2] The street used to include the part of Sterling Way which now runs past the station.

Silver Street was originally a stop on theStoke Newington & Edmonton Railway and opened on 22 July 1872.^[3]

Several changes were made to Silver Street station in the early 1980s. Two wooden covered staircases leading up to the platforms were replaced by open-air concrete staircases. The northbound platform roof was removed and replaced with a simple brick shelter.

A fire on the London-bound platforms in the 1990s damaged much of the original roof. A new modern structure was put in its place alongside the remaining undamaged portion.

The Fore Street tunnel section of theNorth Circular Road was built beneath the station during the 1990s without any disruption to service. At this time, a new ticket hall was constructed on the eastern side of the station.

In 2015 the station and all services that call transferred fromAbellio Greater Anglia operation to become part of theLondon Overground network. Silver Street was added to theTube map at the same time.^[4][5]

All services at Silver Street are operated as part of theWeaver line of theLondon Overground usingClass 710EMUs.
