London Overground

Surrey Quays to Clapham Junction extension

From 9 December 2012:

  • London Overground orbital network will be completed
  • Four trains an hour from Clapham Junction to Highbury & Islington
  • New, high-capacity, air-conditioned trains
An extension of the network from Clapham Junction to Highbury & Islington, via Surrey Quays, will complete the London Overground orbital railway around the Capital.   The new stations connecting Surrey Quays to Clapham Junction are:
  • Queens Road Peckham
  • Peckham Rye
  • Denmark Hill
  • Clapham High Street
  • Wandsworth Road

This is the final stage of a £1.5 billion investment to improve the London Overground for a more frequent, reliable and accessible network.

London Overground's new line extension from Surrey Quays to Clapham Junction links south east and south west London. With fast frequent services, the new link also opens up new destinations and connections to:

  • Canada Water (for Jubilee line services to Canary Wharf, the West End and Stratford)
  • Clapham High Street (for Northern line services to the City and the West End)
  • Clapham Junction (for services to Victoria, Waterloo, west London, Gatwick Airport and destinations in the south of England)
  • Highbury & Islington (for Victoria line and National Rail services)
  • Shadwell (for DLR services to Bank and Canary Wharf)
  • Shoreditch High Street (for the City)
  • Whitechapel (for District and Hammersmith & City line services)

Once the extension between Surrey Quays and Clapham Junction is open, the Highbury & Islington to West Croydon/Clapham Junction line will have trains running up to every 15 minutes between:

  • Highbury & Islington and Clapham Junction
  • Highbury & Islington and Crystal Palace
  • Dalston Junction and New Cross
  • Dalston Junction and West Croydon

This means that trains will run every 3 to 5 minutes between Dalston Junction and Surrey Quays.
