Clapham South tube station is a station on London Underground's Northern Line between Clapham Common and Balham stations and was opened in 1926 as the first station of the Morden extension of the line. The station is in both Travelcard Zone 2 and Travelcard Zone 3.
Clapham South tube station has a lovely aspect onto the southern edge of Clapham Common. It is one of eight London Underground stations which has a deep-level air-raid shelter underneath it.
A famous location near the tube station is High Trees House on Nightingale Lane. A dispute over the rent to be paid by a tenant who was living there was the foundation for the decision in Central London Property Trust Ltd v. High Trees House Ltd [1947] K.B. 130 wherein Lord Denning expanded on the English law doctrine of promissory estoppel.
