The route from Wimbledon to Wandsworth Town (Point Pleasant Junction) is still used by South Western Railway for empty stock movements and occasional service train diversions, as well as three daily SWR services which run to and from Waterloo via the route in the early hours of the morning without stopping at Southfields.

A lift runs from the booking hall to platform level, making the station step free.

(In recent times the footbridge had been closed and used as a storage area but after London Underground took over the station they reopened it as an exit.)

The southern end of the waiting room on the platform has been converted into a kiosk and the rest of the building is used for LUL staff accommodation.

After Southfields Station was transferred from British Rail to London Underground in 1994 a temporary ticket office was built to the west of the station on a heavy steel frame above the track and the parapet wall of the bridge was removed to allow public access to the ticket office from the pavement whilst extensive alterations were carried out to the booking hall area.

The station platform undergoes a makeover each year to coincide with the tournament, funded by a particular company for advertising purposes.

For instance, in 2006, the station platform was covered in red flooring, as were the benches, because of American Express's advertising campaign for a credit card that supports an AIDS charity.
