Reedham railway station is in the south of Purley in the London Borough of Croydon on the Tattenham Corner line.

[3] The station was opened by the South Eastern and Chatham Railway on its branch line to Tattenham Corner as Reedham Halt on 1 March 1911.

[8] It took its name from the nearby Reedham Asylum for Fatherless Children,[8][9] founded in Richmond by philanthropist Andrew Reed in 1844.

[citation needed] A new passenger footbridge was installed in late 2013, removing the existing disabled access;[14] the platforms were also resurfaced.

[19] The telecommunications mast adjacent to the station was increased in size again in 2017 to 25m from 22.5m inline with the planning permission granted in 2016.
