Camberwell is a closed railway station in Camberwell, south London. It was opened in October 1862 by the London, Chatham and Dover Railway (LC&DR) as part of the company's ambitious "second London railway". In May 1863 the name was changed to Camberwell New Road but in October 1908 reverted to Camberwell. Camberwell station was mentioned in the 1956 film Private's Progress as a good place to get off a train and avoid paying a fare. It was made to sound like a working station, despite the fact that it had closed nearly 40 years before the film was set.
