Harringay Green Lanes railway station is a railway station in Harringay, North London. It is on the Gospel Oak to Barking line between Crouch Hill and South Tottenham.
Trains run every 20 minutes (30 minutes out of peak hours) in each direction, towards either Gospel Oak or Barking. All trains from the station are operated by London Overground.
It was opened 1 June 1880 as plain Green Lanes, but was renamed a number of times:
- Harringay Park, Green Lanes (1883)
- Harringay Park 18 June 1951
- Harringay Stadium 27 October 1958
- Harringay East 12 May 1990
- Harringay Green Lanes 8 July 1991
There were originally wooden platform buildings which were replaced by brick and concrete structures in the 1950s. The original ticket office at street level survived and in recent times was a café. To cope with the huge number of passengers visiting Harringay Stadium and Arena, both right next to the station, very long platforms were provided, but these were shortened in late 2003 due to subsidence. Just west of the station was the goods yard; this closed on 3 February 1964, and is now Railway Fields nature reserve.
The station has no direct interchange to a tube station; however, Manor House tube station is about 650 meters (2,133 ft) away.
Transfer on a single ticket is allowed between Harringay Green Lanes and Harringay.
