Deptford station was closed between 1915 and 1926. The original station building was demolished by the [[Southern Railway (UK)|Southern Railway]] and replaced by a newer building, which was demolished around 2011.

A second entry/exit is now open since the refurbishment of the old carriage ramp is now complete; this new entrance is located on Platform 1. There are two ticket machines in the station, one 
in the ticket hall and the other next to the carriage ramp entrance on Platform 1.
