Clapham Common tube station is a station on London Underground's Northern Line. It lies between Clapham North and Clapham South stations. The station is in Travelcard Zone 2.
History[]
The station is at the eastern tip of Clapham Common and was opened in June 1900 as the new southern terminus of the City & South London Railway, which was extended from Stockwell. It remained the terminus until the Morden extension was opened in 1926. Apart from a small domed entrance building on the tip of the narrow triangular island formed by The Pavement and Clapham Common South Side, the station is entirely underground.
A curved steel and glass pavilion was built on the south-east end of Clapham Common South Side was built by architects firm Aukett Fitzroy Robinson.[4] This links to the below-ground ticket hall via a pedestrian tunnel under the road.
Clapham Common is one of two remaining stations on the underground that has an island platform in tunnel, serving both the northbound and southbound lines; the other is Clapham North. Due to safety worries there are plans to replace them in the future. It is one of eight London Underground stations which has a deep-level air-raid shelter underneath it. Both entrances to the shelter are north of the station on Clapham High Street.
