'''[[Crystal Palace railway station]]''' is a [[Network Rail]] and [[London Overground]] station in the [[London Borough of Bromley]] in south [[London]]. It is located in the [[Anerley]] area between the town centres of [[Crystal Palace, London|Crystal Palace]] and [[Penge]], {{convert|8|mi|56|chain|km}} from {{stn|London Victoria}}. It is one of two stations built to serve the site of the ''1851'' exhibition building, [[the Crystal Palace]], when it was moved from [[Hyde Park, London|Hyde Park]] to [[Sydenham, London|Sydenham]] Hill after 1851. The station was opened on 10 June 1854 by the [[West End of London and Crystal Palace Railway]] (WEL&CPR) to take the crowds to the relocated Palace. It was formerly known as '''Crystal Palace (Low Level)''' to differentiate it from the nearby and now largely demolished [[Crystal Palace (High Level) railway station]]. The station serves trains running between [[London Bridge railway station|London Bridge]] and [[London Victoria railway station|London Victoria]] in addition to services terminating at [[Beckenham Junction railway station|Beckenham Junction]] and [[Sutton railway station (London)|Sutton]].  Since 23 May 2010, the station has also been a terminus of the [[East London Line]] of the London Overground.  This has been the catalyst for plans for a substantial redevelopment of the station.
