There are also a number of bus routes that service this area. Scroll down for more info.

Important information about getting home from SW4

Clapham Common Tube will be closed from 2130 on the Saturday evening and 2100 on Sunday. With this in mind, we suggest that you use nearby Clapham South (Northern line) or Clapham Junction (Southern services to Victoria or South West Train services to Waterloo). If you are using Southbound Northern line services you may wish to use nearby Balham to avoid queues into Clapham South station.

In order to make your journey home as easy as possible, please consider carefully how you will get back. The route back to Clapham South will be signed posted and lit through the Common and staff will be on hand en-route to assist you. However, there is no doubt that due to the volume of people heading that way, there will be queuing time both outside and inside the station. Please take into account that last trains run fairly soon after the event on the Sunday.
