What are the best alternatives to get around south or southwest London?
If you’re trying to avoid disruption on the Northern line this afternoon, you can try London’s buses, Thameslink, South Western Railway and tram services.
• From Morden or South Wimbledon: Hop onto the London Trams over to Wimbledon Station. From there, you can take a South Western Railway train straight into Waterloo (roughly 15–20 minutes), or use the District line.
• From Tooting or Colliers Wood: Walk, bus, or cycle over to Tooting Station (National Rail) or Mitcham Eastfields. You can catch a Thameslink directly to Elephant & Castle, Blackfriars, City Thameslink, and St Pancras.
• Switch completely to National Rail. Southern Service trains run frequently from Balham Station straight into Victoria or London Bridge.
• From Clapham (South, Common, North): If you are near Clapham High Street, walk over to the London Overground (Clapham High Street station) to travel east towards Shoreditch/Highbury & Islington or west towards Clapham Junction.
Alternatively, take local buses (such as the 88, 155, or 345) to Vauxhall or Stockwell to access the Victoria line.
