The second phase of the East London line, from Surrey Quays to Clapham Junction opens today, meaning the London Overground has become an orbital railway around the capital.

The new stations connecting Surrey Quays to Clapham Junction are:

  • Queens Road Peckham

  • Peckham Rye

  • Denmark Hill

  • Clapham High Street

  • Wandsworth Road

This is the final stage of a £1.5 billion investment to improve the London Overground. London Overground's new line extension from Surrey Quays to Clapham Junction links south east and south west London.

Now the extension between Surrey Quays and Clapham Junction is open, the Highbury & Islington to West Croydon/Clapham Junction line will have trains running up to every 15 minutes between:

  • Highbury & Islington and Clapham Junction

  • Highbury & Islington and Crystal Palace

  • Dalston Junction and New Cross

  • Dalston Junction and West Croydon

This means that trains will run every 3 to 5 minutes between Dalston Junction and Surrey Quays.
