Wikipedia has an article about Stoke Newington railway station that tells us:

Stoke Newington is a London Overground station on the Lea Valley lines, serving the Stoke Newington area in the London Borough of Hackney, north London. It is 4 miles 16 chains (6.8 km) down-line from London Liverpool Street and is situated between Rectory Road and Stamford Hill. Its three-letter station code is SKW and it is in Travelcard zone 2.

The station is on the Seven Sisters branch of the Lea Valley Lines, with services out of Liverpool Street running to either Cheshunt or Enfield Town in the north.

A smoked glass/steel-framed ticket office was built in the early 1980s to replace the original ticket hall on the same site. The platforms are located in a narrow cutting and are accessed by uncovered concrete staircases also installed at this time.

In 2015 the station transferred to London Overground operation and was added to the Tube map.

London Buses routes 67, 76, 106, 149, 243, 276, 393 and 476 and night routes N73 and N76 serve the station.
