Crossrail 2 factsheet: Wimbledon to Clapham Junction Crossrail 2 is a proposed new railway line serving London and the South East, linking Surrey to Hertfordshire via central London destinations. Previous work on Crossrail 2 proposed a station at Tooting Broadway, but recent work has identified a number of problems with building a station at Tooting Broadway, and we are now considering an alternative station location at Balham. The earliest the scheme could be open by is 2030. Why do we need a Crossrail 2 station here? Benefits of a station at Balham Large population growth is putting particular pressure on A Crossrail 2 station at Balham would still provide very the Northern line. The Northern line between Balham and similar benefits to one at Tooting Broadway, principally Stockwell is the most crowded part of the Tube network, helping relieve crowding on the most congested parts of and congestion is set to get significantly worse in future. the Northern line. A route with a station at Balham would: New capacity on this part of the network is needed to • Improve your journey with up to 30 Crossrail 2 trains avoid regular station closures in future. per hour to destinations including London, Hertordshire and Surrey Tooting Broadway • Provide a new route for onward journeys into central To relieve crowding on the Northern line, we had London proposed a station at Tooting Broadway. Land for this was safeguarded earlier this year and further work on • Connect with existing National Rail and London the station design has been completed to inform this Underground services consultation. Recent assessments have identified that • Reduce crowding on the busiest part of the Northern ground conditions in the Tooting area would make it line during peak periods by approximately 30 per cent significantly more difficult to build a station at Tooting Broadway than originally thought. As a result of these • Provide step-free access from street level to the challenges, we are looking at an alternative station Crossrail 2 platforms location at Balham. • Added station capacity allowing up to 6,000 more Work to date has suggested that a station at Balham could passengers to use the station in peak hours be built with significantly less disruption and would still • Improve access and support growth in Balham town centre provide many of the same transport benefits as a station at Tooting Broadway. A station at Tooting Broadway would take up to two years longer to build, would require much larger worksites and thousands more lorry movements. This is because a 30% station there would have to be built from the surface with Trains per hour Reduction in crowding more material removed by road. This would mean it would through the be more disruptive and cost nearly twice as much to build tunnelled section on existing services than a station at Balham. Further assessments of the ground conditions at Balham are required, but work to date suggests it would be faster, easier, less disruptive and cheaper to build a station here than at Tooting Broadway. All figures are based on current working assumptions and are subject to change.

    Battersea Area Guide

    Battersea Area Guide Living in Battersea and Nine Elms Battersea is in the London Borough of Wandsworth and stands on the south bank of the River Thames, spanning from Fairfield in the west to Queenstown in the east. The area is conveniently located just 3 miles from Charing Cross and easily accessible from most parts of Central London. The skyline is dominated by Battersea Power Station and its four distinctive chimneys, visible from both land and water, making it one of London’s most famous landmarks. Battersea’s most famous attractions have been here for more than a century. The legendary Battersea Dogs and Cats Home still finds new families for abandoned pets, and Battersea Park, which opened in 1858, guarantees a wonderful day out. Today Battersea is a relatively affluent neighbourhood with wine bars and many independent and unique shops - Northcote Road once being voted London’s second favourite shopping street. The SW11 Literary Festival showcases the best of Battersea’s literary talents and the famous New Covent Garden Market keeps many of London’s restaurants supplied with fresh fruit, vegetables and flowers. Nine Elms is Europe’s largest regeneration zone and, according the mayor of London, the ‘most important urban renewal programme’ to date. Three and half times larger than the Canary Wharf finance district, the future of Nine Elms, once a rundown industrial district, is exciting with two new underground stations planned for completion by 2020 linking up with the northern line at Vauxhall and providing excellent transport links to the City, Central London and the West End.

    The CAMRA Regional Inventory for London Pub Interiors of Special Historic Interest Using the Regional Inventory

    C THE CAMPAIGN FOR REAL ALE The CAMRA Regional Inventory for London Pub Interiors of Special Historic Interest Using the Regional Inventory The information The Regional Inventory listings are found on pages 13–47, where the entries are arranged alphabetically by postal districts and, within these, by pub names. The exceptions are outer London districts which are listed towards the end. Key Listed status Statutory listing: whether a pub building is statutorily listed or not is spelled out, together with the grade at which it is listed LPA Local planning authority: giving the name of the London borough responsible for local planning and listed building matters ✩ National Inventory: pubs which are also on CAMRA’s National Inventory of Pub interiors of Outstanding Historic Interest Public transport London is well served by public transport and few of the pubs listed are far from a bus stop, Underground or rail station. The choice is often considerable and users will have no di≤culty in easily reaching almost every pub with the aid of a street map and a transport guide. A few cautionary words The sole concern of this Regional Inventory is with the internal historic fabric of pubs – not with qualities like their atmosphere, friendliness or availability of real ale that are featured in other CAMRA pub guides. Many Regional Inventory pubs are rich in these qualities too, of course, and most of them, but by no means all, serve real ale. But inclusion in this booklet is for a pub’s physical attributes only, and is not to be construed as a recommendation in any other sense.
