Wood Street is a railway station in Walthamstow. It is located a part of the London Borough of Waltham Forest in north east London. It is in Travelcard Zone 4. It was opened in 1873.

In the future, the Victoria line was being planned, and will go to be the end of the line instead of Walthamstow Central station.[2] A decision was made in 1961 which meant that this did not happen.[2] If this station had become the end of the Victoria line the building would have been on the surface, next to the British Railways station.[2] The future line is attended to replace the former Bowes Park to Seven Sisters, Queens Road and Leytonstone line.
