Turkey Street is a London Overground station on the Southbury Loop section of the Lea Valley lines, located in the Bullsmoor area to the north of Enfield in north London. It is down the line from London Liverpool Street and is situated between and . History The railway line from Bury Street Junction, north of the current Edmonton Green station, to was opened by the Great Eastern Railway on 1 October 1891. It was known as the Churchbury Loop. The district served by the line was still predominantly rural, and the coming of the tram to Waltham Cross in 1904 saw the railway unable to compete. Passenger services ceased on 1 October 1909, but were reinstated for the benefit of munitions workers between 1 March 1915 and 1 July 1919. After that the line was only served by freight trains until the line was electrified as part of a wider scheme, and Turkey Street station reopened to passengers on 21 November 1960.

The interior of the original station consisted of a large ticket hall with the station master's office and serving hatch on the left hand side of the entrance. A tunnel opposite the entrance led to the stairs to the Cheshunt-bound platform. This tunnel was used in the rebuild. To the right were the stairs to the Liverpool Street platform. The stairwells were also reused in the rebuild, but the concrete steps were replaced with steel.

This entrance was disused from the early 1970s onwards and the former station building was converted to a newsagent and general store; the footbridge was used for storage for the shop and the entrance to the
