Lebanon Road

Lebanon Road tram stop stands in the southern suburbs of London, on Addiscombe Road in the London Borough of Croydon. The stop takes its name from Lebanon Road, a nearby cross-street in a residential area east of Croydon town centre. Here the tram line runs along the same road as buses and local traffic, making it easy to switch between transport modes. Two staggered platforms sit on opposite sides of the two-lane carriageway, so passengers cross the road to board. The layout avoids the need for a bridge or underpass, keeping the stop simple and accessible. The tram stop sees frequent services throughout the day, with up to eight trams per hour in each direction. Routes link New Addington to West Croydon, Elmers End to Wimbledon, and Beckenham Junction to Wimbledon, all running at regular intervals. Modern low-floor trams of the Bombardier CR4000 and Stadler Variobahn types operate these services, providing step-free access for all passengers. London Buses routes 119, 194, 198 and 466 also call at the stop, offering further connections across the area. A visitor finds a straightforward transport point where trams and buses meet on a busy suburban road. The staggered platforms allow smooth boarding and alighting without extra structures. Passengers can transfer between trams and buses for free within an hour under Transport for London’s Hopper Fare scheme. The surroundings include terraced houses and local shops along Addiscombe Road, giving a sense of everyday Croydon life. The stop itself is unremarkable in design but serves as a useful link in the network.
