Zone 2 rail station on the Lea Valley Line from Liverpool Street.

Hackney Downs is the first split on the Lea Valley Line after leaving Liverpool Street. One branch heads to Clapton where it splits further for either Chingford, or Enfield Lock and thence Cambridge as the West Anglia Main Line. The other goes via Seven Sisters.

There might be a side/back entrance, but the main entrance (pictured) is on Dalston Lane.

You can now use Oyster pre-pay here - the National Rail site is wrong (well, behind the times). See http://www.atoc-comms.org/dynamic/toc-press-story/1000074/one-railway-to-extend-availability-of-Oyster-Pay-As-You-Go
