[1] The station is located in the central part of the suburb where its main artery Jægersborg Allé crosses the railway line.

It is served regularly by trains on the C-line which have a journey time to central Copenhagen of around 15 minutes.

It opened where the railway line crossed the road Jægersborg Allé and was named after the nearby Charlottenlund Palace.

[12] As part of the construction of the Coast Line, the old smaller station building at Charlottenlund was demolished, and the current one with larger capacity was built on the same site.

[2] Just a few years later, the station was among the first served by the S-train, as service began on the 3 of April 1934 when the line Frederiksberg-Vanløse-Hellerup-Klampenborg was opened.

[15] The former ticket sales building on the eastern side of the tracks has been renovated as a private meeting and banqueting facility.
