Entrance Building To Clapham Common Tube Station

The entrance building to Clapham Common Tube Station is an underground station built in 1900 and remodelled with a new entrance in 1923-1924, designed by Charles Holden. It features a small circular domed structure with wings on the north and south sides. The building is constructed from structural faience blocks, with a plinth and top moulding. It has a glazed dome topped with a ball finial, and the UndergrounD motif on the frieze was renewed in 1997. The circular UndergrounD signs on the finials were also restored in 1997. Inside, the walls are tiled in white with green panel borders. The ticket hall is accessed via stairs featuring a central cast-iron balustrade, and the foyers and access corridors also have white tiles with green panel borders, which were renewed in the original pattern in 1997. This station is notable for being one of only two surviving underground stations that have a central island platform, with the train lines set within a single large hall.
