Clapham South Station closed: London Underground station shut due to 'unavailability of staff' - commuters slam 'abysmal service'

Transport for London (TfL) posted late last night that Clapham South Station was closed. The London Underground station is still closed this morning.

TfL says: “This station is closed due to unavailability of station staff. Tickets are being accepted on London Buses.”

One unhappy commuter wrote on X: “@TfL Clapham South tube is closed this morning with no prior warning. Bus driver insisted we had to pay to go to the next station, Clapham Common, even though tickets should be accepted on buses when there is a diversion.

“Abysmal service as usual.” Another user responded to the post saying: “This @TfL...”

The station is on the Northern line between Clapham Common and Balham stations, and is in both London fare zone 2 and 3. The station is located at the corner of Balham Hill and Nightingale Lane, at the southern edge of Clapham Common.
