Silver Street station is located on a long straight section of elevated track, on the route from Liverpool Street to Cheshunt and Enfield Town. Looking north, the platforms at Edmonton Green can be seen (there is just 50 chains (1.0 km) between the two stops) whilst looking south, trains leaving White Hart Lane are seen almost immediately as they leave that station (it being only 64 chains (1.3 km) from Silver Street).
The station takes its name from the street so-called which is recorded thus c. 1630 and which possibly alludes to silversmiths living in the area at that time or before.[2] The street used to include the part of Sterling Way which now runs past the station.
Several changes were made to Silver Street station in the early 1980s. Two wooden covered staircases leading up to the platforms were replaced by open-air concrete staircases. The northbound platform roof was removed and replaced with a simple brick shelter.
A fire on the London-bound platforms in the 1990s damaged much of the original roof. A new modern structure was put in its place alongside the remaining undamaged portion.
The Fore Street tunnel section of the North Circular Road was built beneath the station during the 1990s without any disruption to service. At this time, a new ticket hall was constructed on the eastern side of the station.
