With its large bus terminal, situated on the east side of the station, it is an important transport hub for public transport in the northern suburbs of Copenhagen.
Lyngby station is located on the Hillerød radial of Copenhagens S-train network, a hybrid commuter rail and rapid transit system serving Greater Copenhagen. It is served regularly by trains on the A- and E-lines which have a journey time to central Copenhagen of around 15 minutes.[4]
The station opened in 1863.[8] It has been served by the S-train network since 1936.[2] The current station building was built in 1957 and contains a shopping arcade with circa 15 stores, including two supermarkets.

History
Lyngby Station opened on 1 October 1863 as the northern terminus of the first section of the North Line from Copenhagen to Lyngby. The small station building was designed by the Danish architect Vilhelm Carl Heinrich Wolf.[5] The following year, the railway line was completed as the section from Lyngby to Helsingør via Hillerød opened.[2] The Lyngby-Vedbæk Railway opened in 1890.
The first station building was demolished in connection with the introduction of double tracks between Hellerup and Holte. A new and larger station building, located a little to the south of the old one, was built in 1890–91 to design by Heinrich Wenck and Niels Peder Christian Holsøe.
The rail line was electrified and converted to S-train service in 1936. At the same time, the terminus of the Lyngby-Vedbæk Railway was moved south to Jægersborg.
The old station building was demolished in 1956, and replaced by the current structure which opened in 1957.[2]
