Imperial Wharf London Overground Station

It’s clean bright and relatively new. The overground service runs through here and seemed quite regular whilst I was here.
As it is an elevated station it has two lifts once each platform but the stairs most definitely quicker. Obviously if you need the lift then it is great.
I can only go 3 star as it is after all just a station which does it a job. Lets hope it stays clean and tidy for some time to come.

very convenient station for local residents joining the district line to go into London and also crossing river to Clapham. can feel very exposed on platform in bad weather which can be unpleasant.

I eagerly waited for several years for this train station to be finally built to ease my commute to work. It has certainly cut down my travel time into work, and it is a nice enough little train station to serve the Sands End area in Fulham, as well as Imperial Wharf and Chelsea Harbour. However, it hasn’t built cleverly since you get wet when going up the stairs to the platform when it rains, and also this creates puddles on the stairs, which is paritcularly uncomfortable when people run down the stairs and they splash the water on your trousers. Also, continuing with the rain theme, as I have had to suffer many rainy mornings standing in the platform lately, there is hardly no cover on the platforms for when it rains. And the covers there are, although they look aesthetically pleasing, they are not very functional as they are so tall that they don’t really protect you from the rain, so the seats are always wet, etc.
Something that I really miss in Winter in this station is a fully covered and closed space where you can wait for the train and not get too cold, especially as you can easily be waiting for your train for 15min or so.
So the reason why I give 3 stars is because this station has been built focusing on its look rather than its functionality.
On the plus side, there are two lifts to go to the platforms clearly visible (although one of them breaks down regularly), and the ticket office provides a good service as it is open until quite late in the afternoon/​early evening.

Imperial Wharf is the newest station on the West London Line. Services commenced on Sunday 27 September 2009, and the station was officially opened by the London Mayor on 29 September.
It serves a new development of flats, shops a hotel and offices called Imperial Wharf, built on the site of an old gas works, as well as the more established development at Chelsea Harbour, and older, established neighbourhoods around Sands End. There have been plans to build a station here for some 15 years, as the area has long had poor transport connections; the service now provides access to mainline connections at Clapham Junction, Willesden Junction and Watford Junction, as well as Underground services via West Brompton, Kensington Olympia and Shepherd’s Bush.
The station itself is built on an embankment, with access via a glass-​encased staircase and lifts from a ticket office located in a tunnel under the tracks. The platform buildings comprise shelters under stylish ‘wave’ styled canopies, with more glass panels to provide protection from the biting winds that come along the Thames. (The exposed nature and lack of heated waiting room is, indeed, one of the station’s main drawbacks, although it is possible to shelter in the ticket office area).
The station is served by the half-​hourly Willesden Junction to Clapham Junction service of London Overground, which is extended to Stratford in peak hours. It is also served by the hourly Milton Keynes — East Croydon Service, which is reduced to Watford Junction to Clapham Junction in the early morning and after the evening rush hour.
The station is currently staffed for all trains, and the lifts provide level access throughout. There are uncovered cycle racks in the small square created on the Imperial Wharf (west) side. Bus connections include the 391 (Richmond-​Sands End), 424 (Fulham-​Putney Heath) and C3 (Clapham Junction-Earl’s Court).
