The line from Herne Hill to Beckenham Junction was built by the London, Chatham and Dover Railway (LCDR) and opened in 1863.[2] The station was opened as "Dulwich" in the same year. The prefix "West" was added in 1926.[3][4] The local area was flooded after the Dulwich Estate lost a court case in which they claimed part of the station was part of their network of drainage canals.
