Walthamstow Queens Road is a station on the Gospel Oak to Barking line, in Zone 3, and is located between Blackhorse Road and Leyton Midland Road. It was opened as "Walthamstow" on 9 July 1894 and was renamed on 1 May 1968. The renaming is, however, misleading as the station is in Edinburgh Road, not Queens Road.

It is a short walk away from Walthamstow Central station, but this is not considered an official interchange.

The typical service from the station is one train every 30 mins in each direction.

A plan to build a footpath to the nearby Central station has so far not been implemented.
