Balham, London - It possesses a railway to tube interchange (the origin of the phrase "Balham-Gateway to the South" was reputedly a genuine Southern Railway advertisement from the 1926 opening of the tube station). Balham is situated between four south London Commons, Clapham Common to the north, Wandsworth common to the west, Tooting Graveney Common to the south, and the adjoining Tooting Bec Common to the east - the latter two historically distinct areas are referred to by both Wandsworth council and most local people as Tooting Common. Most of Balham is in the London Borough of Wandsworth although a small portion of the London SW12 (Balham) Postcode area is actually within the London Borough of Lambeth, creating ambiguity over the extent of the neighbourhood. psychcentral.com /wiki/Balham,_London   (630 words)

mooism: Made it home Balham tube station was shut, due to flooding; this I had already known. Except, as was announced when we arrived at Balham, trains weren’t stopping at Streatham Hill, on account of the lights not working. Presumably all the buses are diverted via Tulse Hill, so instead of getting the tube to Brixton and a bus home, I took the train from Victoria to Streatham Hill. www.livejournal.com /users/mooism/414709.html   (155 words)

ipedia.com: Air-raid shelter Article However, the highest death toll was caused during an accident at Bethnal Green tube station on March 8th 1943, when 1,500 people were rushing down the stairs to the shelter during a particularly severe air raid. Nevertheless, Londoners preferred to use the Underground stations to any other shelters because they felt safest there, and they were willing to demonstrate their determination that they should be allowed to use the tube stations and tunnels. However, tube stations and tunnels were still vulnerable to direct hits when a bomb might explode immediately above a particular stretch of the system, and several such incidents did in fact occur. www.ipedia.com /air_raid_shelter.html   (2504 words)

Overheard in London's Journal It was photographed in Balham tube station on the 26th of July. This morning the Tube was rammed due to apparent "severe delays" (a phrase that has ceased to have any real meaning to me) on the Hammersmith and City, Metropolitan and Circle lines.
