Berrylands station in Kingston, which is served by South Western Railway trains, will shut between May 11 and August 23 as part of a major Network Rail project.
Opened in 1933, Berrylands is one of the few remaining stations in London still built on timber platforms.
The platforms sit on a five-metre-high embankment, and Network Rail says they are no longer fit for purpose.
As part of the works, both platforms will be demolished and rebuilt, with narrow sections widened to improve safety and accessibility.
The station will also receive new lighting, CCTV, information screens and help points, along with new landings and staircase enclosures made from steel.
Space will be provided for new waiting shelters on both platforms.
Network Rail says the work is designed to extend the life of the station and improve the experience for passengers using this suburban stop.
While the station is closed, trains will continue to run through Berrylands, but passengers will not be able to get on or off.
People will be directed to use Surbiton or New Malden stations, or the K2 bus, with alternative travel arrangements to be confirmed closer to the start of the closure.
Preparation work kicked off in November and will carry on until March, before the main rebuild starts.
This will include clearing plants and trees, moving cables and pipes, and carrying out environmental protection work around the station.
Main construction will then take place from March to November, with the station reopening to passengers on August 24.
Some disruption is expected during the works, including temporary parking bans in Chiltern Drive, occasional pavement closures in Lower Marsh Lane, and short-term road closures so construction vehicles can get in and out.
Although the station will be rebuilt, lifts or ramps will not be installed as part of this project.
Network Rail has said it will include “passive provision” in the design, meaning space will be left for step-free access to be added in the future if funding becomes available.
Berrylands has previously been identified as a potential stop on the proposed Crossrail 2 line, which would increase the number of trains serving the station and could bring further upgrades if the scheme goes ahead.
