The station was built in 1884 and was known as Deptford Road until 1911. It was subsequently renamed Surrey Docks (in reference to the nearby, now former, Surrey Commercial Docks) until it was renamed a second time to Surrey Quays in 1989, following the construction of the nearby Surrey Quays shopping centre. This was a somewhat controversial move and was unpopular with many of the local community, who felt that their heritage was being erased. However, the name stuck and the Surrey Docks area is now widely known as Surrey Quays.

From about 2008, it is envisaged that trains will run from Surrey Quays to Clapham Junction by way of Queen's Road Peckham, Peckham Rye, Denmark Hill, Clapham High Street and Wandsworth Road. This is to be achieved by extending the East London Line to connect with the overground Network RailNetwork Rail is a British "not for dividend" Company Limited by Guarantee that owns the British railway system with the exception of rolling stock: i. Network Rail owns the railway tracks themselves, signals, tunnels, bridges, level crossings and stations South London LineThere are two railway South London Lines both operated by Southern — the "inner" and "outer" lines, both running from London Victoria to London Bridge. The "inner" line has the following stations: London Victoria Battersea Park Wandsworth Road Clapham Hig, utilising a long-disused rail corridor just south of Surrey Quays station which used to link the two lines. A new station at Surrey Canal Road will be constructed to the south-west of Surrey Quays.
