The station was originally named Chislehurst and Bickley Park when it was first opened on 1 July 1865: the South Eastern Railway had opened part of its cut-off line to Dover on that date. On 1 May 1868 a new station was opened on a different site on completion of the cut-off to Tonbridge. At the beginning of the 20th century the tracks through the station were doubled. Beyond Elmstead Woods station (opened in 1904) to the north of Chislehurst lie the Chislehurst Tunnels, a tunnel each on the slow lines and fast lines . To the south of the station the Up and Down Chatham Loop lines give access to the Chatham main line.
