The station was originally named "Hale End" upon opening in 1873, and was renamed in 1894 as "Highams Park & Hale End".

The present station, to the design of Neville Ashbee, was inaugurated in 1903.

Trains are operated by London Overground.

The typical off-peak weekday service pattern is:

  • 4 trains per hour (tph) to London Liverpool Street;

New Class 710 trains have entered service with one unit on this line and another 2 for Enfield and Cheshunt. More of these entered service in 2020.

A level crossing that connects Larkshall Road with Hale End Road is situated just to the south of the station. The crossing is worked by the signal box at Liverpool Street. There are three ways to cross the line: the footbridge in the station, the subway at the south end of the station which links to the level crossing, and the level crossing itself.
