Opened in 1889 jointly by the Metropolitan District Railway on the line from Wimbledon to Earls Court, and the London & South Western Railway. View north towards Putney Bridge and Earls Court, which is now the District Line. Like 55% of the London Underground network, this part is actually overground. The platforms to the far right were used by LSWR trains from Wimbledon to Clapham Junction via Wandsworth Town, but have not been in regular service since April 1941. The line is however used regularly by through 'mainline' trains.
