London Overground construction works, south of Surrey Canal Road, December 2011
Between Queen's Road and South Bermondsey stations, the train traveller can see new track peeling off eastwards: the formation for what will become the London Overground line from Clapham Junction onto the old East London Line towards Highbury and Islington. The new line reinstates a former track, used when the East London line was a route for distributing goods to and from the Surrey Commercial Docks.

National Grid cooling station, John Williams Close
One of 14 surface cooling station buildings at 1-mile intervals serving the National Grid underground cable tunnel between Bexley Image and Wimbledon. To allow these cables to carry more current, there are cooling pipes adjacent to the cables, carrying water pumped from these cooling stations. The shafts, tunnels and cooling stations were originally constructed in the 1960’s and are the route for the main 275kV cables supplying South London. They were refurbished in 2005.
