It is now a picnic spot on the Cole Green Way footpath and cycle trail.[2]

The station was used in the film The Lady with a Lamp (1951). Florence Nightingale arrives at the station near her home. The train is hauled by the early steam locomotive Lion, with three four-wheeler passenger coaches, two of them named Experience and Huskisson.[3]
