Clapham North tube station is a London Underground station in Clapham. It is on the Northern Line between Clapham Common and Stockwell. It is in Travelcard Zone 2. The station is close to Clapham High Street railway station although there is no direct interchange link.
The station opened in June 1900 as part of an extension of the City & South London Railway to Clapham Common one stop to the south. It is one of two remaining stations that has an island platform in the station tunnel, serving both the northbound and southbound lines; the other is Clapham Common. The original station building was replaced in the mid 1920s when the line was modernised and that building has, in turn, recently had the façade reclad.
It is one of eight London Underground stations which has a deep-level air-raid shelter underneath it.
