The tram stop is located between Bingham Road and Lower Addiscombe Road, on a section of line which follows the trackbed of the former Woodside and South Croydon Railway. However the former railway was on an embankment at this point and crossed over both roads on bridges. During construction of Tramlink, the embankment was removed, the bridges replaced with level crossings and the tram stop built at street level.

The former Bingham Road halt on the Woodside and South Croydon Railway was formerly situated here. Its longer platforms also extended to the south of Bingham Road. The same railway's Addiscombe station was located on a branch line, about 500 metres to the west.cite book | first = John B. | last = Gent | title = Croydon's Transport Through the Ages | publisher = Croydon Natural History & Scientific Society Ltd | isbn = 090604717X]
