History

The station opened in June 1900 as part of an extension of the City & South London Railway to Clapham Common one stop to the south. It is one of two remaining stations that has an island platform in the station tunnel, serving both the northbound and southbound lines; the other is Clapham Common. The original station building was replaced in the mid 1920s when the line was modernised and that building has, in turn, recently had the façade reclad.

Clapham North is one of eight London Underground stations which has a deep-level air-raid shelter beneath it. Also, Clapham North is one of only two deep-level stations on the London Underground (the other one being Clapham Common) to be served by a single island platform.

The platforms at Clapham North tube station. This platform and the one at Clapham Common are the narrowest on the London Underground.
