A hundred years of Charles Holden's Northern line stations, walked one stop at a time.
Morden to Clapham SouthGuided tourHistoryFamily friendlyFree
On 13 September 1926 the Northern line was pushed south from Clapham Common to Morden, seven new stations at once, and the Tube reached deep into south London for the first time. All seven are Charles Holden's - Clapham South, Balham, Tooting Bec (which opened as Trinity Road), Tooting Broadway, Colliers Wood, South Wimbledon and Morden - and they were a change of direction for the Underground: screens of Portland stone, glazed and lit from within, with none of the decoration the railway had used before.
The tour takes them in order, on the Tube between stops, and is as much about how a station is run as about how it looks. It starts at Clapham Common and finishes at Morden. Ninety minutes, free, and booked through Open House, which runs five departures from 10:00 to 16:30. Holden went on to build the Piccadilly line's northern stations from the same ideas.
