It is on the site of the former Morden Road railway station on the Wimbledon-West Croydon line, which closed to rail traffic in 1997.

The tram stop consists of two platforms on either side of the double track, linked by pedestrian level crossings.

Immediately to the east of the station is a single-track section which reaches as far as Phipps Bridge tram stop.

The stop is interlinked as an out of station interchange (OSI) with South Wimbledon on the London Underground's Northern line.

[5] Free interchange for journeys made within an hour is available between trams and buses as part of Transport for London's Hopper Fare.
