The main building on the down side (which is only open on weekdays/Saturday mornings) replaced an original building which was on the up platform. This was in turn replaced by two shelters on the Up platform. There is a bridge connecting the two platforms. Four lines run through the station, the central pair being the Up and Down through lines. The station stands off Anerley Road (A214).
The station was opened originally as Anerley Bridge by the London and Croydon Railway in 1839.[3][4] It was situated in a largely unpopulated area, but was built as part of an agreement with the local landowner.[5]
According to local lore, the landowner was a Scotsman and, when asked for the landmark by which the station would be known, he replied "Mine is the annerly hoose". The timetable of the day seems to back this up since it says "There is no place of that name".[6][page needed]
Anerley formed part of the new southward extension to the East London line that opened on 23 May 2010, making Anerley part of the London Overground network. At the same time, management of the station passed from Southern to London Overground under Arriva Rail London.

The station is also served by a limited Southern service of one train per day to London Bridge (on very early mornings) and two trains per day to East Croydon, one of which continues to Tattenham Corner and Caterham. All day off peak services to London Bridge were axed in September 2022. These services are operated using Class 377 EMUs.
