Notes

Leyton was constructed on this site in 1989 and opened for service in 1990. The station received an official opening on 15 November 1991.

The new structure replaced the ‘temporary’ station building on the site that had been constructed in 1913, following the demolition of the Leyton & Leytonstone Volunteer Fire Brigade building originally on the site dating from 1879.

Although the new station was built for the London Fire Brigade, the previous station on the site was operated by the Essex County Fire Brigade, and only passed to the LFB on the formation of the Greater London Council in 1965

THe station is also well known as the fictional London Fire Brigade Blackwall fire station in ITV’s London’s Burning from Season 13 onwards, replacing E34 Dockhead.
