==History==
Seven Kings station was opened on 1 March 1899. Before the London Underground's Central line was extended from Stratford via Gants Hill to Newbury Park in 1947, Seven Kings was one of two junctions for the Fairlop Loop to Woodford via Hainault. Seven Kings West Junction (used for freight, excursion and empty stock traffic) was closed in 1956, though the other connection, from Ilford, was severed as early as 1947 due to the expansion of Ilford sheds, which is easily visible from the western end of Seven Kings station. The carriage sheds comprise a large depot which includes two workshops.
On 23 January 1963, eight people were injured in a rear-end collision between two trains just outside of Seven Kings station. A London-bound express train over-ran a red signal and ran into a -London stopping service at "fairly low speed". The express train was subsequently found to have a fault with one of its brakes. A Ministry of Transport report on the incident stated that the express train's driver "cannot be excused entirely from responsibility" given his passing of the red signal.〔http://www.railwaysarchive.co.uk/documents/MoT_SevenKings1963.pdf〕
