A talk by local historian, Sue Demont, on 25 September from 6.30 to 8.00 pm. Clapham Junction is a phenomenon, a mis-named piece of railway infrastructure which has become a household name not just locally but nationally and internationally. As well as employing generations of railwaymen, the Junction has attracted the attention of historians and architects; has featured in literature, music and film, and at various times has been cited as one of the busiest stations in the world. 2025 marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of the modern railway, a fitting time to learn more about the origins and development of the Junction over 162 years, including its relationship with Battersea (where it is situated) and Clapham (where it isn’t).
