Balham
One of two identical entrances, on either side of the street, to Balham station, LUL Northern Line (here in south London) on 10th November 2012. Balham opened on 13th September 1926 with the extension from Clapham Common to Morden but did not become known as the Northern Line until 1937. Designed by Dr. Charles Holden (1875-1960), the London Underground's Chief Architect between the two world wars, this is the only station on the Morden extension of the Northern Line to have an interchange with National Rail services. (NB: the Company detail is incorrect, it should be City & South London Railway (Morden Extension)).
