Clapham Common tube station is a station on London Underground's Northern Line. It lies between Clapham North and Clapham South stations and is in Travelcard Zone 2.
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 pavillion was built on the south-east end of Clapham Common South Side was built by architects firm Aukett Fitzroy Robinson.[2] 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.
