Balham

Balham is a busy rail interchange in the London Borough of Wandsworth, served by both National Rail trains and the Northern line of the London Underground in Travelcard Zone 3. The station building carries Grade II listed status for its interwar Art Deco design — a restrained but characteristic example of the architectural style that defined London Underground expansion in the 1930s. With over 18 million combined passenger journeys recorded annually, it functions primarily as a commuter hub for south London rather than a destination in its own right.
