A south London council is looking at the extension of the Northern line from Battersea Power Station to Clapham Junction as part of a masterplan for the area.

A new report by Wandsworth Borough Council (WBC) described the train station - one of Europe’s busiest rail interchanges - as “an asset of London and national importance” but said it “presents long standing challenges of congestion, severance, and accessibility”.
