History
There have been calls for over 15 years by residents for a station to be opened at this site, to be funded by Transport for London and the local council.
In 2005 the estimated cost was £3 million, of which £1.7 million had already been provided by St George, the developer of the Imperial Wharf site, leaving a funding shortfall of £1.3 million.
In October 2007, Hammersmith and Fulham Council announced that St George had agreed to provide another £1.2 million, roughly enough to complete the project. It is also reported that the planning permission for the all of Imperial Wharf was only given to St George on the basis that a station was built.
