Originally opened in 1860 as part of the London, Chatham and Dover Railway, the station retains period architecture whilst providing modern passenger facilities. It handles regular services to London Victoria, allowing easy access to the capital, as well as connections along the Kent coast.

The station's red-brick Victorian structure is a distinctive landmark at the south-eastern approach to the city. From Canterbury East, passengers can reach Dover Priory, Ashford International, and other regional destinations. The station offers ticket offices, waiting rooms, and platform information systems for modern travellers. It remains an important gateway for visitors arriving by rail, providing convenient access to Canterbury's world-famous cathedral and medieval town centre.
