'''West Green railway station''' was on the abandoned [[Palace Gates Line]] in [[North London]]. It was in [[West Green, London|West Green]] on the north side of West Green Road, west of the junction with Philip Lane, and near the ''Black Boy'' public house. The [[Great Eastern Railway]] opened it on 1 January 1878. Competition from nearby railway lines and the [[London Underground|Underground]] [[Piccadilly line]] rendered the Palace Gates line unprofitable and the line and the station were closed for passenger services on 7 January 1963<ref>{{cite book|last=Quick|first=M.

Afterwards the shallow cutting that housed the station was filled in and the site is now occupied by a school and sports field. Two small buildings from the station frontage were used as shops until their demolition in August 2003.
