St Margarets railway station, in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames in south-west London, is in Travelcard Zone 4. It was opened by the London & South Western Railway on 2 October 1876[2] on the existing line from Waterloo to Windsor. It is a minor stop, 10 miles 66 chains (17.4 km) down the line from Waterloo.

The station and all trains serving it are operated by South Western Railway. The station entrance is at the east end, nearer to London. The station is sometimes shown as St Margarets (London) to differentiate it from the station of the same name in Hertfordshire.

Its trains towards London call at platform 1; almost all call at all stations to Waterloo (nationally known as stopping services). This island platform also faces the fast London-bound track as platform 2 (disused for getting off/boarding). Other trains call at the outbound platform (Platform 3).

Public transport and footways to all-services station[edit]

The station is a short bus journey to major stop Twickenham railway station from the end of its street. South of the tracks a parallel street has pavements to both sides to the same station, less circuitously.
