Westcombe Park station is in Greenwich, London, and is situated on the Greenwich Line connecting suburbs (e.g.: Deptford, Greenwich, Charlton, Woolwich, to Dartford, Kent) along the south side of the River Thames with central London stations (London Bridge, Cannon Street and Charing Cross).

The station was opened by the South Eastern Railway in 1879, the year after the through line from Greenwich to Maze Hill was finally completed.

This connected the original London and Greenwich Railway to the North Kent Line just west of Charlton.

It is the closest station to Woodlands House (once the home of John Julius Angerstein and later an art gallery and history archives centre), and is also close to the southern approach to the Blackwall Tunnel, a notorious traffic bottleneck.

Services at Westcombe Park are operated by Southeastern and Thameslink using Class 376, 465, 466, 700 and 707 EMUs.
