A newsstand inside the station ticket hall sells newspapers, coffee and snacks. There is no seating.

To the south of the station on a long stretch of line is a newly opened station at Mitcham Eastfields.

In the 1920s there was a plan to extend the Northern Line from Kennington to Streatham via Brixton and Herne Hill replacing the British Rail tracks to Streatham. The plans were in place for the extension, however it never materialised like much of the New Works Programme for the Northern Line.
