Clapham High Street
The entrance to Clapham High Street station on the first day of London Overground services here, 9th December 2012. This station, and the next one west at Wandsworth Road, lost their long-established South London Metro services to both London Bridge and Victoria when they were withdrawn the day before, to much opposition from its passengers. The station was opened by the London, Chatham & Dover Railway as Clapham on 2nd August 1862 and was renamed Clapham High Street in 1989. It is a stone's throw from the LUL Northern Line station at Clapham North but there is no direct pedestrian subway connection between the two, passengers having to walk along the street to get from one to the other.
