Notes
Beckenham was constructed and opened in 1985.
The station was built to replace the former Kent Fire Brigade station on Bromley Road built in 1905. The former station was constructed by Beckenham Municipal Borough before passing to Kent Fire Brigade in 1948.
Following the formation of the Greater London Council and the subsequent redrawing of boundaries, the station passed to London Fire Brigade ownership in 1965.
The early 1980s saw the former station become life expired and closed on the same day the new station became operational before finally being demolished in mid 2018.
