The tram stop consists of an island platform which is accessed by pedestrian level crossings at both ends of the platform. The crossing at the western end only serves the north side of the line, whilst the one at the eastern end forms a path connecting neighbourhoods on either side of the line. The Phipps Bridge tram stop is clearly visible to the west.

London Buses route 201 serves the tram stop.[4]
Free interchange for journeys made within an hour is available between trams and buses as part of Transport for London's Hopper Fare.[5]
Future
Belgrave Walk is proposed to be a stop on the planned and currently paused Sutton Link tram extension between Sutton and Colliers Wood Underground, which would integrate the Northern Line into the existing tram network. The Sutton Link aims to create a new tram or BRT (bus rapid transit) system, providing a rail interchange in Sutton.[6][7]
In 2018, Transport for London (TfL) proposed three routes for the Sutton Link, targeting South Wimbledon, Colliers Wood, and Wimbledon. In February 2020, TfL approved the route to Colliers Wood. According to a now-deleted consultation, the Sutton Link was expected to reduce public transport journey times from Sutton town centre to Colliers Wood by up to 18 minutes (a 50% reduction) and could accommodate approximately 2,200 passengers per hour. However, the project was paused later in 2020 due to funding challenges arising from the COVID-19 pandemic.[8][9][10]
