The platforms

Successive renamings of the station were Kingston Junction in late 1852, Surbiton and Kingston in 1863 when the present Kingston railway stationopened on the branch line, and Surbiton in 1867. The station was completely rebuilt in 1937 by theSouthern Railway with two island platforms with Southern Railway designed canopies. The buildings were designed by J Robb Scott in an art deco style. In 1984/85 a large mural titled 'Passengers' [4] was painted in the booking hall by artist Graeme Willson. It has since been removed.
The ticket office at Surbiton is open seven days a week, unlike some stations, and so commuters from surrounding areas go to the station to buy and renew tickets.
